One of the type specimens of my Calotes ncmoricola still exists, 

 though much injured, in the Museum here, and it is very distinct 

 froni C. gigcts, also from the same locality. 



The only Agamoid lizard noted in my Catalogue is the one de- 

 scribed by B 1 y t h from specimens obtained by myself at Saugor in 

 Central India as Brachysaura ornata. All my endeavours to procure 

 specimens for a more minute examination of this very curious form 

 have hitherto failed. From some remarks made to me by Colonel 

 T y 1 1 e r, I was led to believe that Bundelkund would prove to be the 

 head quarters of this Agamoid, and this indeed is highly probable, but 

 Colonel Tiornan to whom I applied has not yet succeeded in get- 

 ting me specimens. Till some one with sufficient scientific proclivities 

 examines those districts, we must rest satisfied with our incomplete 

 information. From a rough sketch of the Lizard and some of its 

 details, I can add to the notes furnished by B 1 y t h, the following 

 scraps of its structure. — Scales rather large, in distinct transverse 

 bands, not directed so obliquely upwards as in Calotes, not quite so 

 straight as in Salea, nostrils at some distance from the snout in a 

 large scale ; a distant shoulder fold ; one large tuberculate scale in 

 the middle of the head, surrounded by smaller 4 — 6 sided ones ; a 

 ridge of strong scales protecting the eye. Length of one about 6 

 inches, the tail being not quite 3. 



To the section of Eock lizards, I have to add a species of Trapelus, 

 also from the Alpine Punjab, quite distinct from Gunther's 

 Trapelus megalonyx. The central shields of the head, 2 or 3 series, 

 are large ; the upper lip is surrounded by 31-32, instead of 

 39 shields, there are no conspicuously large shields on back 

 and sides ; the scales on the upper base of the tail conspicuous- 

 ly larger than those on the under side ; the foreleg does not 

 reach the hip-joint ; the nails are sub-equal and all very much 

 smaller than the thumb ; coloration yellowish brown, with a series 

 of dark brown oblique bands interrupted on the median line and 

 on the sides, below pale yellowish. Length of specimen 7 inches, 

 the tail being 4£. 



Agama agilis, 1 i v., an African Lizard, was added to the peninsu- 

 lar Fauna by Theobald, who obtained it in the Panjab Salt 

 Range. I have never observed it.
