bly duo to immaturity, as it appears to differ in no other respect 

 from larger specimens. The tongue is slightly notched behind 

 and grooved above. The skin is perfectly smooth ; colour brown 

 above irregularly spotted with ash grey, below whitish.

34. PoLYr-EDATES maculatus, (Gray.) 



I found a few specimens mostly amongst bushes or grass by the 

 sides of rivers. The largest procured measures 2.3 inches from 

 nose to vent, hind leg from vent to end of toes 3*8 inches. In a 

 small specimen the same measurements are 2 and 3 inches respec- 

 tively. The following is a description of the coloration of fresh 

 specimens. 



Upper parts ochreous yellow, yellowish brown or chocolate, an 

 indistinct dusky mark, often nearly obsolete, between the eyes, and 

 transverse dark bands on the back of the limbs, occasionally some 

 indistinct dusky blotches on the back also, but none of these aro 

 very constant, a dark band runs from the nostril to the eye and a 

 broader one from behind the eye through the tyinpanuni to above 

 the shoulder ; before and behind the thigh, and the hinder part of 

 the side flesh coloured with large yellow spots ; lower part of the 

 limbs and belly pinkish white. 



The skin is smooth above ; there are fine, close, gramdar tuber- 

 cles throughout the abdomen and the lower and hinder sides of 

 the thighs. 



The vomerine teeth are in very short rows widely separated 

 from each other in the middle. 



Loc. Eastern part of Chanda, Bilaspur, Udipur.
