thk secies as lavmo- 6 to 12 eggs- This I believe to be a mistake, as I 

 ^"K^Stly fonned embryos from it, and believe it to£ therefore 

 viviparous. Cantor, however, unites as a synonym of this species 1 multi 

 carlata, Kuhl, which species is oviparous It is a smaller species and 

 evidently " the young with 5 to 7 keels" of Cantor's description in J. A. S., 

 XVI. p. 652. 



20. T. monticola, G-unth. 



a. three specimens in spirit 



The scales are four keeled, but, though Gunther only describes two keels, 

 I thinkifc must be this species. No label is attached, and the specimens ex- 

 hibit no markings, being a uniform plumbous brown above, pale below 

 %l™coul ^'from-Sikkim, and probably replaces T. rufescens of the 



plains. 



21. T. trivittata, G-ray. 



T. rufescens, Shaw apud Gunther. 

 a. mutilated specimen. Jalnat. Dr. Jerdon. 



A handsome species, with three broad white bands down the back j scales 

 five keeled. 



22 T. QTJINQUET^ENIATUS, Licht. 



a. in bad state. Egypt. C. J. Evans, Esq. 



23, T. MULTICARINATA, Kuhl. 



Euprepes macularius, Blyth. 



T. rufescens, Shaw apud Gunther. 



a. four specimens. Rungpore (?) 



These specimens have no label, but are, I think the same as a species I 

 have always considered as T. multicarinata Kuhl, from Birma. My Bu- 

 nrese species are a little larger than the Museum ones and in b b tei 

 state also. A female contained 3 eggs and measured, body d.J, f"*-'— ' •*• 

 Co oui (o ive) pale bronze above, black spotted, spots long and streaky. A 

 broad back lateral band, white margined above. Underneath white. Scales 

 distinctlv 7 carinate. Jerdon (J. I S., XXII., 479) mentions a small speci- 

 men in tL museum, of T. multicarinata, Kuhl, but whether or no he refers 

 To one of th^above 'specimens I know not Like so ™Vj$"*^™£ 

 it has probably evaporated long ago. T. multicarinata differs from T. rufes 

 cens most essentially in being oviparous, (vide T. rufescens).
