Colouration : Olive brown above, the enlarged scales lighter, a double 
series of dark spots along the back ; lower surface lighter, the throat 
with darker longitudinal lines. 
Remarks : The description is taken from Boulenger. Bocage (lo,c. cit., 
p. 128) remarks on some specimens which he refers with some reserve 
to this species. In these the ventral keels are more or less effaced, 
the fifth toe just extends beyond the first, and the first rows of enlarged 
scales are symmetrically arranged in curves. Bocage’s specimens had 
only one row of anal pores, as compared to two in the type. Peters’ 
description is inaccessible to me. 
11. AGAMA PULCHELLA. BOCAGE. 
Dorsal scales small, hexagonal, strongly carinated and mucronate, inter- 
mixed with enlarged scales arranged in longitudinal rows on the 
vertebral region, or scattered, isolated, or in small groups. A 
dorso-lateral fold gives insertion on each side to a row of spines. 
Head scales partly smooth, partly tubercular, occipital enlarged. 
Groups of prismatic scales on the sides of the head and neck, a few spines 
around the margin of the ear. 
Nostril on the can thus rostralis. 
Crests on the neck, back and on the anterior two-thirds of the tail distinct. 
Ventral scales smaller than the dorsals, their keels more or less effaced. 
Fingers : Fourth slightly longer than third. 
Toes : Fourth longer than third, the fourth extends far beyond the first. 
Scales around the body 130-140. 
Scales on tail and upper surface of the limbs much larger than the dorsals. 
Praeanal pores in a single row. 
Colouration : Ground colour grey brown with irregular blackish markings, 
a light vertebral stripe extending on to the tail, some small grey spots 
on the back, under surfaces grey, with greyish black or greyish blue 
wide reticulations. The vertebral band is absent in the young. 
Remarks : The types were collected at Modder River by Dr. Holub. The 
description is taken from Bocage (loc. cit., pp. 116-117). I have not 
yet found this species. 
12. AGAMA ACTJLEATA. MERE,.

neck. 
Nostril tubular, on the canthus rostralis. 
Crests distinct on neck and back. 
Ventrals imbricate, smooth. 
Fingers : Third longest, fifth extending beyond the first. 
Toes : Third longest, fifth extending as far as the first. 
Tail rounded, caudal scales larger than dorsals. 
Scales on upper surface of the limbs unequal, A single row of anal pores.
