colour. This specimen had, on each side of the back stripe, five black 
spots, which, on their posterior half, were edged with the finest jonquil 
yellow ; the throat, sides, and roots of the limbs were, as it were, dusted 
with the same hue ; the under half of the body was pure white, without 
speck. The pores of the thighs could not be discovered. (Bulletins de 
I’Acad. de Bruxelles, ix. 2, p. 192.) 
Aspidorhinus (nov. gen.), Eichw., 1. c. p. 74. Nares prominulas, 
exiguis scutellis elevatis apici rostrali impositse ; squamae temporum sub- 
tilissimae, granulosae ; collare ; squamae notasi exiguae, granulosae. There 
is one species, A. gracilis, Eichw. {Lac. vittata, Eversm.) 
Tiliq^ua Essingtonii, Gray, Zool. MiscelL, from the north coasts of 
New Holland. 
Lialis Burtoni, hicatenata, and punctulata are three New Holland 
species, described by Gray in the work just quoted. 
Q5dura, Gray (nov. gen.), of the family of Gechones, ibid. p. 52. Toes 
.5-5, wide, free, scaly beneath at root, ends somewhat broader ; under side 
with two rows of cross folds, the last on each toe broad ; claws 5-5, con- 
cealed in the groove between the folds ; back and belly with oval convex 
equal scales, smaller on the sides ; tail oval, lanceolate, very thick, low, 
with pointed tip, covered with rings of broad scales ; anal pores in a 
crescentic line. (E. marmorata, New Holland. 
Pyria, Gray (nov. gen.), of the family of the Gechones, ibid. p. 53. 
Like Ptyodactylus, but the toes are shorter, thicker, wide at the root, 
and there are anal pores present. Ph. punctulata, New Holland. 
Gecho Smithii, from Prince of Wales’ Island, and G. chinensis, from 
China, have been described by Gray, Zool. Mis. p. 57. 
Tarentula clypeata. Gray, ibid. ; habitat unknown. 
Phelsuma trilineatum and lineatnm {Gecko inunguis, Cuv.), are also 
described by Gray (ibid.) : the latter species from Madagascar. 
Gehyra, Gray (nov. gen.), from the family of the Gechones, ibid. p. 57, 
forms a part of Wiegmann’s Peroplus, but has the scales of the Gecho : 
it is distinguished from this genus by the length and compression of the 
end of the toes. G. oceanica {Gecho oceanicus). 
Naultinus, Gray, Zool. Mis. p. 72, is distinguished from Gehyra by 
the ends of the toes not being compressed. There are three species : 
N. pacijicus, ib. p. 58 ; thumb without nail ; bright brown ; irregular 
broad stripe on each side : South Sea Islands. N. elegans, ib. p. 72 ; 
thumb with nail ; green ; irregular spots on each side of the back ; New 
Zealand. N. punctatus, ib., in Dieffenbach, p. 204 ; thumb with nail ; 
dark green ; back with very small black dots ; under half yellow- 
green; 4". 
Boltalia, Gray, Zool. Mis. p. 58, holds a middle place hetween Gehyra 
and Hemidactylus ; toes free, folds beneath numerous, slender, transverse, 
narrow, divided by a deep small groove; thumb similar; })ores of thigh
