Observ. — Authors disagree as to the number of series of supralabial 

 plates : the attention of future observers will have to be directed to 

 this point. We had no specimens of this species at our command. 

 The lateral scales are said to be larger than the dorsal ones : this 

 statement likewise requires verification.

Observ. — It is not without hesitation that we have placed the above 

 species, established upon immature specimens, in the genus Eulaemus, 

 owing to the incompleteness of the description given by its author, and 

 the absence of specimens from the collections we have had access to. 

 Future observers will have to bear this circumstance in mind.
