specimens : 
Britstown ^. Scaling on upper surface of tibia very unequal (as in 
typical A. dista^iti) ; adpressed hind limb reaching the middle of the ear- 
opening ; small dorsal scaling not mucronate. 
A young from Schoemansfontein, O.F.S, (about 30 miles S.E. of 
Kimberley) has the dorsal scaling like specimens from Bloemfontein, the 
fourth toe longest and the fifth extending well beyond the first. Ventral 
scales feebly keeled.

given at the beginning. The toes short and thick, enlarged dorsals very 
much enlarged, ventral scales feebly but distinctly keeled, scales on upper 
surface of tibia unequal. Third toe the longest.

longer on the right foot ; scaling as in A. distanti.

respect save that the scales on the upper surface of the tibia are equal. 
Six specimens from Daniel's Kuil exhibit the following characters 
A has enlarged dorsal scales arranged in three clusters on three darlc 
brown patches at either side of the vertebral line, a very distinct dorsal crest 
extending the full length of the tail ; scales on upper surface of tibia unequal. 
The colour on the ventral surface of this specimen is very peculiar, there 
being broad red wavy lines forming a large-meshed netw^ork on the whole 
surface, especially on the chest ; longitudinal cobalt-blue lines under the 
head, throat blue-black ; head slightly longer than broad. A ^. Scaling 
the same as in the preceding but enlarged dorsal scales much smaller,
