Ono yüung specinioii from Alalian pandjang (West-Sumatra) 1500 
meter above the sea-level. 
I suppose this must be the Lygosoraa malayanum described by 
DoRiA from some specimens found by 0. Beooaei on mount Singalang 
in West-Sumatra. For comparison I have given the preceding des- 
cription in the way of Boulekgee's Catalogue. 
When this Lygosoma, belonging to the group Hinulia, is really 
identical with Doria's L, malayanum, it seems to be a mountain 
species. Doria adds: „E il solo Lygosoma del gruppo delle Hinulia 
trovato finora nelle grandi isole Malesi", but he has neglected that Lygo- 
soma (Hinulia) sanctum Dum. et Bibr. belongs to Java. 
25. Lygosoma sanctum Dum. et Bibr. (Plate XIV. Fig. 4). 
Java: Buitenzorg, 4 sp. 
Habit lacertiform, the distance between the end of the snout and 
the fore hmb equals once and one fifth the distance between axilla 
and groin. Snout moderately elongate. Lower eyelid scaly. Nostril 
pierced in a single nasal; no supranasal; rostral flat or a little convex 
above, largely in contact with the frontonasal, which is broader than 
long and forms a very narrow suture with the frontal, latter shield 
as long as frontoparietals and parietals together, in contact with the 
three anterior supraoculars; five large supraoculars; first much longer 
than second, fifth smallest; nine supraciliaries , first largest, supra- 
ocular region swollen. Frontoparietals and interparietals distinct , former 
a little larger than latter; parietals forming a short suture behind 
the interparietal, no nuchals; fifth and sixth upper labials largest 
and below the eye. Earopening oval, smaller than the eyeopening, 
no auricular lobules; 32—34 finely striated scales round the middle 
of the body, dorsals largest, laterals smallest. A pair of large prae- 
anals. The hind limb reaches the axilla. Digits long compressed, sub- 
digital lamellae unicarinate, 25 to 26 under the fourth toe. 
Graybrown above, a black lateral band, spotted with whitish, 
extends from the nostril through the eye and above the ear to the 
groin. Back with a silvery median band, commencing on the forehead 
and edged by two series of black spots. Lower surfaces whitish.
