the centre, or front margin of the eye. Fourth toe longer than third with 12—15 
smooth lamellxe. Tail thick and long in the smaller specimen not quite twice the 
length of head and body, in the larger twice that length. Brown above with black 
tips to some of the scales, sides mottled in the smaller specimen irregularly barred 
with blackish of which only some ill defined spots remain in the larger specimen. 
An obsolete dorsolateral band from above the ear continues some distance behind 
the fore limb. Whitish below. Total length 210 mm. Head and body 71 mm. 
Fore limb 13 mm. Hind limb 18,5 mm. 
1 specimen (the larger) from Malanda Febr. 1913, I specimen from Cedar Creek, 
N. Queensland. 
This species is undoubtedly rather nearly related to Lygosoma crassicauda DUM. 
but differs very plainly by the broad sutures formed by the frontonasal with the 
rostral and the frontal, and by the smaller number of lamell&e under the fourth toe, 
by the colour etc. 
Lygosoma pumilum BoUuLENGER. — 1 specimen from Cedar Creek, N. Queens- 
land, differs from the original description (Cat. Liz. B. M. III, p. 325) in having 22 
scales round the middle of the body and with regard to the colour. The back is 
dark earthy brown with a small black dot at the posterior end of the four dorsal 
rows of scales by which four series are formed, the outer of which are somewhat 
more distinct. A distinct dorsolateral, black, light-edged band occupies the lateral 
half of the fifth and the whole sixth row of scales, extending from the eye (or the 
snout) along the body and at least a part of the tail. 
Lygosoma scutirostrum PETERS. — Six specimens from Mount Tambonrine, 
N. Queensland, Oct. 1912. 
Lygosoma &quale Grav. — One specimen from Mount Tambourine. This 
species appears to be known from New South Wales only until now. The present 
specimen agrees, however, completely with the description in Catalogue of Lizards 
B. M. except that the sides are entirely dark brown without any distinct blackish 
line above. The limit between the colours is nevertheless very sharply defined.
