Somè of thèse seven spécimens difter from the type-specimen in the scales of the head, the 

 praefrontals form a suture, whereas in the type-specimen the frontonasal is in contact with the frontal. 



Section Liolepisma. Snout short, obtuse; lower eyelid with a transparent disk; ear- 

 opening oval, smaller than the eye-opening, no lobules. No supranasals; frontonasal much more 

 broad than long, in contact with the rostral and sometimes with the frontal ; praefrontals often 

 forming a suture; frontal a little longer than the frontoparietal, in contact with the two 

 anterior supraoculars; four supraoculars ; eight supraciliaries; frontoparietal single; parietals in 

 contact behind the interparietal ; three to fïve pair of nuchals ; fîfth upper labial below the 

 eye. Body moderate, the distance between the tip of the snout and the fore limb is contained 

 one time and a half in the distance between axilla and groin; 32 smooth scales round the 

 body, the two vertébral séries largest, twice as broad as long; praeanals enlarged. Tail one 

 time and a half the length of head and body. Limbs moderate, the hind limb reaches the 

 elbow; digits slightly compressed, fourth toe with 23 — 25 smooth lamellae below. 



Dark brown above, a broad dark latéral band, formed by black spots, edged with light 

 on the head and the anterior part of the body; flanks greenish-white, black-dotted. Lower 

 parts greenish-white. 



The length of the seven spécimens varies between 108 mm. and 134 mm. It seems to 

 be a mountain form, the type-specimen was captured on Mt. Victoria, Owen Stanley Range.
