India. At Saugor, also in Central India, I got several small speci- 

 mens of a Lizard of which I have a sketch with some details which, 

 in spite of its geographical position, appears to resemble Ps. Theo- 

 bald i move closely than Jerdoni; but without specimens this fact 

 cannot be satisfactorily settled. It is found on all the rocky hills 

 about Saugor, but rather rare. 



Major B e d d o m e has also quite recently sent me one specimen 

 of yet another species of this genus, obtained by him on the Bremna- 

 gherry hills, at an elevation of 5000 feet. It differs from both the 

 previous species in having a pair of small anterior frontals, the 

 other two having one large one ; the head is still shorter than in 

 Jerdoni and more triangular, the tail is distinctly more rounded at 

 the base than in either of the other two species, in which it is some- 

 what depressed. The coloration is very similar to that of the two 

 others. I shall call this species Pseudophiops Beddomei. 



Cabrita Leschenaultii, D. and B., recorded by me in my Catalogue 

 from the banks of the Cavery and neighbouring parts, has been 

 recently procured in these localities by Major B e d d o m e, and he 

 has also obtained one specimen of a second Cabrita which he has 

 named C. Jerdoni. It is from the same district as the other, but 

 differs from the typical species in several important points, as noted 

 in the description of the species in the Madras Medical Journal for 

 1870, No I, p. 34 &c. 



I find that Tachydromus sex-lineatus extends into Assam and the 

 Khasi hills, where by no means rare about Shillong. G- ii n t h e r 

 has not seen it from a locality north of Eangoon. 



Dr. Stoliczka informed me of a second species of Tachydromu s 

 which was sent by Mr. H. L. Haughton to the Museum from 

 Goalpara in Assam. It differs from the last and indeed from all the 

 species cited by G u n t h e r, except T. japonicas, in having 4 pairs of 

 chin-shields instead of 3, but it has f> dorsal series of scales, and 10 

 ventral series ; all of them keeled. Its coloration is very similar to that 

 of T. scx-lmeatus, but the glistering pale green longitudinal stripe 

 is broader, and the dark line below narrower. I shall with the 

 concurrence of the Curator name this Tachydromus Ilaughtonianus. 

 Length 8j inches, of which the tail measures 5f. 



Of the Scincidce I have ascertained by numerous specimens from 

 Darjeeling, the Sutlej valley and Kashmir, that Q-unther's
