Two specimens, apparently of this species, from Pallatanga and 
Canelos. M. Bocourt's type was from Guatemala. Specimens 
already identified by me in the British Museum as houvieri are 
from Pebas and from Guayaquil. The one from the latter locality 
is that enumerated hy Dr. Giinther as A, cEnetts in his list of Mr,

Four additional specimens from Canelos and Pallatanga afford me 
tlie opportunity of giving some further particulars about this remark- 
able species. On each side of the occiput are some erect scales, 
forming a flag-like border. These curious scales, which are not 
conical, are present hi both sexes, and appear characteristic of the 
species, as they are not seen in L. iridescem nor, of course, in the 
species of the genus willi small cephalic shields. 
The sexes are very distinct. The mide is of much darker colora- 
tion, as previously described, and has the whole guiar region deep 
black. It bfls also the tail covered with very large scales, and very 
strongly compressed, almost resembling BasiHscHS in this respect. 
The female has the back light brown, with triangular bars of darker 
pointing backwards. The sides below the lateral crest are dark 
brown, sharply separated from the Ugliter hue of the back. The 
tail is compressed at the root only, ronnded afterwards. This spe- 
cies vvould belong to the same section of Leiocephalm as Z.. /termi- 
nierif D. & B., which also has the ventral scales keeled. That
