Uniformly brown above, except for some small black spots on the 
head; pale ventrally. 
Total length, 190 mm. (a portion of the tail has been reproduced) ; 
from snout to vent, 64 mm. ; length of fore-limb 5 mm., of hind-limb 
6'5 mm. 
The type and only knov^n specimen v^as taken in the Woodbush 
(Zoutpansberg District) by Miss A. Eastwood, who presented it to the 
Transvaal Museum in April, 1912. 
This new species is closely related to T. hreyeri Koux, but is easily 
distinguished therefrom by the limb characters. 
Type in the Transvaal Museum (No. 1496). 
ZONUEUS CCERULEOPUNCTATUS, n. Sp. 
Head much depressed, much longer than broad, the head shields almost 
smooth ; no supranasals ; nasals of moderate size, not swollen, only just in 
contact in the mid-lme ; frontonasal broader than long ; prefrontals 
forming a median suture ; interparietal enclosed between two pairs of 
parietals, of which the posterior is the larger ; temporals smooth and 
without spines; the fifth upper labial is suborbital and not much 
contracted below ; lower eyelid opaque. Scales of the back small, 
strongly keeled and arranged in transverse rows, about 20 scales in each 
row, and about 40 distinct rows, not including a number of minute scales 
which occur immediately posterior to the parietals, the occipitals being 
absent. In the middle of the back the scales of the 2 median rows are 
larger than those more laterally situated. Ventral scales in transverse 
rows, 10 in each row, the 2 most laterally situated, on each side, keeled ; 
from the vent to the region of the rudimentary collar about 34 rows of 
scales. Lateral scales keeled, smaller than the dorsals, separated from 
each other by granular intervals and merging gradually into the dorsals. 
An ill-developed collar indicated on each side of the neck. Caudal scales 
keeled above and below, a little spinose near the base of the tail laterally ; 
at least 55 whorls of scales in the tail (tip lost). Femoral pores 15 in 
a single row on each side. 
The pale-brown ground colour of the dorsal surface of the body 
almost obscured by a number of blackish stripes arranged more or less 
longitudinally, fairly distinct anteriorly but broken up and fusing behind ; 
on the sides of the head an'"' body a few scattered bright blue flecks; the 
throat region orange; head, tail, and upper surfaces of limbs almost 
blackish. 
Total length, 150 mm. ; length of head, 19 mm. ; greatest breadth of 
head, 13 mm. ; length of tail, 85 mm. (tip lost). Though immature, the 
specimen no doubt represents a very distinct species, which may at once
