Snout obtuse, as long as the distance between the orbit and the pos-

 tip of the snout. Upper surface of head covered with very strongly 

 keeled scales. Dorsal scales small, the upper largest, strongly keeled, 

 all obliquely directed upwards. Gular and ventral scales strongly keeled, 

 the latter larger than the largest dorsal scales. No femoral or prteanal

13. Simotes porbesi, Bouleng, u. sp. ; P. Z. S. loe. sup. cit. PL XLII. 

 Length of snout measuring twice the diameter of the eje. Nasal 



divided; loreal slightly higher than broad; one prse- and two post-

 portion of the rostral seen from above is as long as the suture between 

 the internasals and the proefrontals ; latter considerably, higher than 

 intemasals. Frontal longer than its distance from the tip of the snout, 

 as long as parietals. Scales in 17 rows. Ventrals slightly keeled on the 

 sides, 155 or 165; anal entire; subcaudals 45. Upper surfaces greyish
