.185 
Nostril tubular, directed upwards and backwards, on the canthus rostralis. 
Crests : A slight nuchal, no dorsal, tail keeled above in the males. 
Scales on the limbs, similar to the dorsals. 
Ventral scales smooth or feebly keeled, smaller than the dorsals. 
Scales around the body, 60-80 (Blgr.) 
Fingers : Third and fourth sub-equal, fifth extending beyond first. 
Toes : Fourth longest, fifth extending considerably beyond first. 
Anal pores in a single row. 
Colouration : Dark brown (or olive) above, yellowish grey below ; under 
side of throat marbled or reticulated with darker. 
Remarks : The above description was taken from specimens in the Albany 
Museum, obtained from Ivamerun. A. colonorum and A. planiceps 
would seem, judging from Bocage’s remarks (loc. cit. p. 19) to merge 
gradually into each other, and ought perhaps only to be considered 
as the extreme forms of one species. 
3. AGAMA KIRKI. BOULENGER. 
Dorsal scales strongly keeled, not or very slightly mucronate, imbricate, 
rhomboidal, small. The keels converge toward the median line. 
Upper head scales smooth or feebly keeled, occipital enlarged. 
Groups of very small spines on the sides of the head near the ear and on 
the neck. 
Nostril tubular, directed upwards, on the canthus rostralis. 
Crests low, but very distinct, nuchal and dorsal, tail keeled above. 
Scales on the limbs similar to the dorsals, but larger, not intermixed with 
enlarged spinose scales. (Judging by the figure, pi. 28, fig. 2, B.M. 
Cat.) 
Ventral scales smooth, scarcely larger than the dorsals. 
Scales around the body 99. 
Fingers : Fourth longer than third. 
Toes : Fourth a little longer than third, fifth extending beyond first. 
Tail compressed and keeled above, covered with strongly keeled scales, 
forming rather distinct annuli. 
Anal pores in a single row. 
Colouration : Olive above, with dark net work, enclosing light ocelli, 
collarpit black, lower surfaces whitish, with indistinct darker lines. 
Remarks : The above description is taken from Boulenger, Cat. Liz., Vol. 
1., p. 354, no specimen being at my disposal. As the type was 
obtained by the Zambesi Expedition, it is to be expected that this 
species may be rediscovered in the northern portion of the Sub- 
Continent. 
4. AGAMA MOSSAMBICA. PETERS. 
Dorsal scales strongly keeled, mucronate, rhomboidal, the keels converging 
towards the median line. 
Head scales more or less strongly keeled, some being pyramidal, occipital 
enlarged. 
Groups of short spinose scales on the sides of the head near ear-opening 
and on the neck, sometimes wanting on the margin of the ear. 
Nostril tubular, directed upwards and backwards, on the canthus rostralis. 
Crests : A nuchal, and a dorsal crest, the latter sometimes partially 
obliterated. 
Ventral scales keeled and mucronate (Fischer).
