Descriptio7is of Neio Batrachia and Lacertilia from South Africa. Ill 
be recognised by the small scales of the post-parietal region ; in this 
respect it resembles Pseudocordylus microlepidotiis. The sutures in the 
neighbourhood of the nostril are not sufficiently defined to enable us to 
say if this new form agrees with Zonurus rather than Pseudocordylus 
in the nasal character. However, its nearest relatives seem to be 
Zonurus warreni and Z. cajpensis. 
The only known specimen was taken in March, 1912, by Mr. Methuen 
at Buffels Nek, between Knysna and Avontuur, about 10 miles from 
Knysna ; it was living amongst the rocks on a mountain devoid of forest, 
within the area of Cape Flora vegetation. 
In all probability the species will prove to be very limited in its range, 
as seems to be the case with Z. capensis, which has never been recorded 
since the time when it was taken on the Hottentot Holland mountain, over 
60 years ago. 
Type in the Transvaal Museum (No. 1920).
