juxtaposed scales. Digits rather short, dilated, as broad as apical expansion, latter 
about as long as broad. The fourth finger with three broad single lamelle, which 
are emarginated in front and more or less distincetly grooved, behind them two pairs 
of lamelle. Third finger similar, in the others the paired lamell&e are more or less 
reduced. The second to fifth toes (fig. 3) show a similar arrangement of the infra- 
digital lamelle as the fourth finger, viz. with three broad single, and two more or 
less developed pairs of lamelle. First toe with only two single, and one pair of 
lamelle. Head covered with granular scales, somewhat larger on the snout; rostral 
much broader than long with a short median cleft which continues as a shallow 
suture-like groove all the way to the labial margin. Nostril pierced (fig. 2) between 
the first labial and three nasals (on one side it hardly touches the labial). The 
anterior nasal is largest, but separated from its fellow of the other side by one scale. 
Ten or eleven upper and eleven lower labials; mental small, triangular, but not larger 
than adjacent labials, which 
do not meet behind it; no 
chin-shield. Two small prick- 
les at the posterior margin 
of the eye. Back covered 
with homogeneous, juxtaposed 
smooth scales, larger than

larger and tending to become - 
subimbricate. Tail depressed and short, but as it has been regenerated nothing can 
be said about its normal lepidosis; at the base, however, it resembles that of the body. 
General colour whitish, with five longitudinal brownish bands, a little narrower 
than the interspaces. The median and the dorsilateral stripes originate from the 
crown, which is marmorated with dusky, and extend on the tail. The outer, or lower 
lateral bands meet on the snout and extend from there through the eye, above the 
ear-opening and across the shoulder to the groin; they disappear on the inner side 
of the femur. In each of the light interspaces between the dark bands a faint and 
narrow yellowish stripe is to be seen. Mesially on the lower side of the body an 
indistinet dusky band can be discerned. 
Breadth of head 5,5 mm. 
Length of head 11 mm. 
Distance from snout to vent 40 mm. 
Length of fore limb 14 mm.
