one behind the apex of the nose, a transverse waved bar on the forehead, a semicircular bar surround- 
ing the hindhead, stretching from one eye to the other ; five scolloped broad bands on the back, some 
of them consisting of two large oviform spots, united on the vertebral line by a narrow bar ; five trans- 
verse bands on the tail, each more or less angular behind, at the mesial line; most of the variegations 
edged anteriorly and posteriorly with liver-brown. Under parts pale cream-yellow. Nostrils sma 
margined anteriorly by the nasal plate, posteriorly by two scales, the innermost tubercular, loes su - 
cylindrical, rather widest towards the point ; under surface, behind the point, crossed with three more 
or less angular, transverse, membranous folds ; the remaining portion covered with three longitudina 
rows of moderately large granular scales. Scales of back small and granular, of tail rather larger, 
transversely subovate, and slightly imbricate; of belly, somewhat circular and slightly imbricate. 
Length from nose to base of tail, 2 inches ; of tail, 1 inch 3 lines. Inhabits the interior of Southern 
Africa, towards the Tropic of Capricorn. 
PACHYDACTYLUS FORMOSUS, n. s. 
Head subovate and rather lengthened, the temples somewhat protuberant ; the neck slightly 
contracted. Body nearly of equal thickness, arched superiorly, flat beneath. Tail cylindrical an 
sharp pointed. Colour, above, pale cream-yellow, variegated with light brownish red-the variegations 
are irregular spots or longitudinal stripes on the upper surface of the head, a semilunar bar crossing the 
anterior part of the neck, with the hinder edge emarginate ; a second semilunar deeply indents r in 
front of the fore-legs; four broad bars on the back, the last between the hinder extremities, and a 
number of narrow ones on the upper surface of the tail, edged before and behind with liver-brown. 
Under part bluish white. Toes at and near the point considerably depressed, towards the base nearly 
cylindrical ; the under surface of the depressed portion with four or five transverse angular folds; the 
other portion covered with four or five rows of large granular scales. Scales of the back partly large, 
subovate, and strongly keeled, with the hinder edge projecting, partly small and granular— the former 
interspersed among the latter; scales of upper and lateral parts of tail partly three-sided tubercles, and 
partly small subconical scales, the former arranged in transverse rows. Scales of the helly and under 
surface of tail small, ovate, and slightly imbricate; those of the former flat, of the latter slightly 
convex. Length from nose to base of tail, 1 inch 10 lines; length of tail, 2 inches. Inhabits t le 
interior of Southern Africa,; nea,r the Tropic of Capiicom.

Head rather short, narrow before the eyes, broad behind them. Body subcylindrical. Tail 
cylindrical. Extremities slender ; toes but little dilated at the point, the apex of each covered above with 
a large, flat, pointed scale, on each side of which is a smaller one ; the under surface, at the point with 
three° transverse folds, and behind those four longitudinal rows oi granular scales. o our o , e 
upper parts either rusty lavender-purple, rusty cream-yellow, rusty buff-orange, or light re 8 1 omn ^ e ’ 
the variegations are four longitudinal scries of spots, two on the back and one on eac i si e. P 
generally are liver-brown, occasionally pale brownish red, in some instances marg^ed with white, m, 
with liver-brown. Scales of the back granular, with a number of subconical tuberc es, a o 
as large, scattered among then. Seales of the tail triangular, arranged in circular JOTS, “ * « * 
imbricate , scale, of the hell, small, subcircular, and Hat. Length from nee. to b “ f “ 
2 inches ; length of tail, 14 inch. This species abounds in most part, of Southern Africa, and mdm- 
duals are often seen escaping from decayed wood when being used as fuel.
