1879.] made at Ajmere in Rajputina. 125 
longer than broad and arranged in longitudinal lines, those on the sides 
broader than long, not very regularly placed. Head above granular, with 
numerous small round tubercles. Tail with cross-rows of trihedral tuber- 
cles above, and broad plates below. Eight upper labials, seven lower; the 
nostri) is separated from the first labial, but is in contact with the rostral , 
the plates behind the rostral are small ; one pair of large chin shields only ; 
about 34 scales across the abdomen. Scales below head and throat and 
those beneath the feet very small. 
The general form is similar tothat of H. triedrus, as represented in 
Belanger’s “ Voyage ;” the head large and depressed; body stout. The 
length of the specimen is rather more than 23 inches from nose to anus, 
the tail, renewed in parts, is 2 inches long. 
Colouration in spirit light brown above, with, on the body, 5 broad trans- 
verse yellow, black-edged bands, the margins of whichare wavy ; the first 
on the nape without a black edge in front, the hindmost between the hind 
legs; similar but narrower bands across the upper part of the tail. Sides 
of head blackish, darker behind the eye than in front, with a pale line from 
the nostril to the eye continued behind the eye, to the nape, and another 
line along the upper labials, produced by some whitish tubercles to above 
the ear. :

12. CynopHis HELENA. A specimen 41 inches long, agreeing very 
well with the description in Giinther’s Reptiles, except that the labials are 
more divided than usual, and the ventral shields more numerous. There 
are 11 upper labials on each side, the 5th, 6th and 7th entering the orbit ; 
the preocular is large, extending to the upper surface of the head. Loreal 
divided into two shields, both in contact with the prexocular, the anterior 
square, the posterior smaller, subtrigonal. Anterior frontals as long as 
broad. Ventrals 254; anal single ; subcaudals in 75 pairs, the extreme tip 
of the tail having been lost.

14. ZameEnis piapEMA. A large specimen, 61 inches in length, agrees 
in most characters with Dr. Anderson’s description (P. Z. 8., 1871, p. 174,) 
of the form found in the neighbourhood of Agra, There are only 27 rows 
of scales round the body, the dorsal series being very distinctly keeled, the 
angulation of the ventrals is faint, and the preocular is divided into two.
