The next lizard is a very interesting novelty, being an addition- 

 al form of the naked-eyed lizards (Ophiops) of which one species 

 was described by Mr. B 1 y t h in the Journal of the Society for 

 1853, Yol. xxii, p. 653, and two others have been recently named 

 by Dr. Jerdon (Proc. As. Soc. Beng., March, 1870, p. 71).* 

 These Indian forms have been separated by Dr. Jerdon from 

 true Ophiops as a new genus Pscudophiops, on account of differences 

 in the characters of the nasal and post-nasal shields. In Ophiops 

 proper, the nasal is between an upper and a lower nasal shield, 

 with 2 post-nasals (D u m. et B i b.) or 3, according to Gr r a y 

 and Gr u n t h e r. In JPseudophiops, the nostril is in the hinder part 

 of a nasal shield, which is followed by two post-nasals. In the 

 new form, the nostril is on the ridge of the snout between an up- 

 per and lower plate as in Ophiops, but with one small post-nasal 

 which lies between the posterior margins of the two nasal shields, 



* Dr. Jerdon 1. c. mentions Laving obtained near Saugor another species 

 of this group. Can it be that now described ?
