PACHYDACTYLUS ELEGANS, Gray. Cat. Lizards, British Museum, page 168. 1845. 
Colour, above, pale yellowish brown or cream-yellow, variegated with light brownish red ; the 
variegations are small spots and oblong streaks on the upper surface of the head; on the back longitudinal 
broken lines, or irregularly scattered spots ; on the tail, spots or broad transverse bars. The under parts pale 
sienna-yellow. Head subovate; body much depressed; tail subeylindrieal. The upper surface of the 
head is covered with small granular scales, intermixed with subconical tubercles; back and sides with 
irregular-shaped, small, flat scales, and large, convex, ovate, subearinated tubercles, the latter numerous 
and almost contiguous on the sides. Tail, above, with transverse rows of three-sided tubercles, and 
the spaces between them coated with small, flat, subovate scales. Throat covered with small, granular 
scales; belly with small, subovate, imbricate ones; the under surface of tail with large, subovate, im- 
bricate scales. Toes slightly dilated at the point, below with five transverse folds, and behind the 
folds with longitudinal rows of granular scales, those of the middle row largest. Length from nose to 
base of tail, 1 inch 8 lines; length of tail, 2 inches. Found under loose stones, in crevices ol rocks, and 
under the bark of decayed trees, and is common in the vicinity of Cape Town. 
PACHYDACTYLUS MENTO-MARGINATUS, Smith. 
The upper and lateral parts of the head, the back, and the sides deep brownish red, varieg'ated 
witli orange-coloured white ; the variegations on the upper surface of the head are a narrow transverse 
bar in front of the eyes, and a congeries of spots and short curved lines behind them ; on the sides of 
the head a longitudinal waved band from the angle of the mouth to the hindhead. On the back and 
sides there are five narrow transverse bands, the three middle ones, particularly, strongly dentated 
behind. The first band is very slender, situated close to the hindhead, and with a prolonged angle 
pointing backwards ; the second is directly between the fore legs, and the fifth between the hinder legs. 
Under parts wine-yellow; the space between branches of lower jaw finely freckled with pale brownish 
red, and the under edge of the labial plates margined with liver-brown, which forms a continuous 
dark line, in the shape of a horse-shoe. Extremities pale brownish red, without variegations. 
Head subovate, deep, and behind much wider than the neck ; body rather slender, the sides slightly' 
bulging ; extremities slender, and nearly of equal thickness. Toes with four semicircular folds beneath, 
near their point., the very point covered with some small scales, the under surface behind the transverse 
folds coated with several rows of small convex scales. Scales of the head, back, and sides small, with 
many large conical or three-sided tubercles scattered among them ; scales of the under parts small, 
nearly circular, and slightly imbricate. Length from nose to base of tail, 1 inch 3 lines; tail wanting 
in the specimens I possess. Inhabits the interior of Southern Africa. 
HEMIDACTYLUS FRENATUS, Schlegel. Bum et Bib. Erpet. Gen. tom. iii. page 366. 
As I never obtained an individual of this species, I give it, as an inhabitant of Southern Africa, 
upon the authority of the late M. Delalande, who forwarded specimens, from the Cape, to the Paris 
Museum.
