7. Pretoria 9 . Head slightly longer than broad ; fifth toe extending as 
far as the first ; ventrals feebly keeled. 
8 Zoutpan 9. Large scales \ery few; toes fairly slender; scales on 
upper tibia equal ; head-scales only very feebly keeled. This specimen seems 
to be near A. arm a fa. 
9. Yygeboompoorf . Toes and dorsal scaling as in typical A. armata. 
Otherwise the same as A. distanti. 
10. Yygeboompoort 9 • Dorsal scaling, head and toes as in typical A. 
armata. Ventrals feebly keeled; scales on upper surface of tibia unequal. 
11. Metlepetsi Eiver 9- Toes rather slender, fifth extending as far as 
the first; dorsal scaling like that of A. acnleata ; scales on upper surface of 
tibia very unequal. 
12. Doornkop 9 . Head and dorsal scaling very like those of A. 
armata. Ventrals rather strongly keeled, but not mucronate ; toes short and 
thick, fifth not extending as far as the first. Another female from the same 
locality has a very rough head-scaling, it being subconical throughout. 
13. Mazoe . General appearance like aculeata -, fifth toe extends as 
far as the first ; scales on upper surface of tibia sub-equal. 
14. Mazoe 9 • Fairly typical as regards dorsal scaling ; ventrals feebly 
but distinctly keeled, strongly so and mucronate on the chest and sides. 
Head much longer than broad. 
15. Bindura, 9- Dorsal scaling as in A. armata; scales on upper 
tibia unequal ; feet and toes like A. distanti, except that the fifth toe extends 
as far as the first. Ventrals feebly but distinctly keeled throughout. Head 
like A. armata. 
16. Schishawasha 9 • Dorsal scaling by no means rough ; no trace 
whatever of a dorsal crest. 
17. Smithfield 9. Shows very rough scaling, not unlike specimens 
from Otto's Hoop. 
Another specimen labelled " Mashonaland " has the general appearance 
of A. acideata ; the fifth toe extends as far as the first; scales on upper 
surface of tibia subequal. 
Two males and two females from Mocliudi are exactly like A. acidecda, 
except that the third toe is the longest, and in the case of two of them the 
fifth toe does not extend as far as the first. A female is the same as 
A. aculeata in every respect, save that the third toe is much longer than 
the fourth. 
A half-grown specimen from Setlagoli has the scaling and other par- 
ticulars exactly as in A. distanti, but the fourth toe is the longest. 
One example from Driekoppen, Hanover Division, referred by us to this 
variety, greatly resembles those from Thaba 'Nchu. Others from the same 
localities have the ear- opening somewhat smaller than is generally the case 
in specimens from the Transvaal.
