8. CABRITA LESCHENAULTI, (J. A. S. B., XXXIX, 1870, Pt. 2, 
p- 345). Notrare in the dry forests on the Godavari, I find I was in error 
after all in supposing that O. leschenaultit and C. brunnea, are distinct ; (see 
Giinther P. Z. §., 1875, p. 225, and some notes by myself, P. Z. S., 1876, 
p. 635). 
Up to April the only individuals I observed were adults, but in that 
month I found great numbers of young. These are coloured much like 
the adult, but the tints are brighter, and the distal portion of the tail is 
light orange, the head shields are quite smooth, not corrugated as in older 
individuals, and there were two post-nasals in all the specimens I examin- 
ed under 3 inches in length. Afterwards, in May, I obtained many rather 
more grown, from 3} to 43 inches long, with but one post-nasal. As I was 
moving about, and procured specimens from different localities, this dis- 
tinction may have been local and not due to age, but it is evident that the 
character of having one or two post-nasals is of no specific importance. 
The same variation is found in the nearly allied genus Ophiops. 
The rugosity of the head plates appears to be a generic character of 
Cabrita. 
9. Caprrra JERDONT, (Beddome, Mad. Monthly Jour. Med. Sci., Janu- 
ary 1870, p. 84; Giinther, P. Z. S., 1875, p. 225 ; W. Blanford, J. A. S. B., 
1870, Pt. 2, p. 348; P. Z. S., 1876, p. 635). Dr. Giinther supposed that 
this was the same as Ophiops jerdoni, but, on my sending him a specimen 
of the Cabrita, he saw, of course, that the two were quite distinct, and 
that he had been misled by an erroneous label. 
O. jerdoni is common in the forests on the Godavari, more so I think 
than C. leschenaultii. I did not meet with Ophiops microlepis ; it appears 
to be a northern and western form. (P. A. 8S. B., 1872, pp. 72, 74.) 
10. Eurreprs (Tiliqua) cARINATUS. 
11. Evuererus (Ziligua) macunarius. (J. A. 8. B., 1870, Pt. 2, 
p. 858; Stoliczka, J. A. S. B., 1872, Pt. 2, p. 117; P. A. S. B., 1872, p. 75.) 
As indicated by myself and much more clearly shewn by Dr. Stoliczka, 
there are two well marked varieties of this scinque, so well marked, indeed, 
that it is almost a question whether they should not be distinguished, 
The one is more slender, and more uniformly coloured above and on the sides, 
the other is stouter, with the posterior part of the dorsal surface distinctly 
spotted with black and the sides punctulated with white. In the former 
there are, as a rule, seven keels on each of the dorsal scales, on the latter five. 
The former is true #. macularius of Blyth, the latter, for the sake of distinc- 
tion, may be called #. macularius var. subunicolor or E. subunicolor,* ac- 
* KE. macularius var. sub-unicolor a typo differt dorso, lateribusque parum vel haud 
maculatis, formd graciliore, scutis dorsalibus plerumque quingue-carinatis,
