F. Stoliczka — On Indian Lizards. 
[No. 1, 
segments, rather abruptly tapering, occasionally very bulging near the base, 
uniform scaly above and at the sides without any enlarged spiny tubercles ; 
subcaudals moderately enlarged, beginning to be so a short distance from the 
anus ; about 11 transverse lamelke on the first, and 14-15 on the fourth toes, 
the two or three basal lamella! and the terminal one being in each case simple ; 
thumb well developed. 
This species is very closely allied to II. Coetcei, and I might have 
considered it as a gigantic variety of the same, had it not the peculiarity of 
the first labial being excluded from the edge of the nostril, which is a 
character constant in all the specimens, none of them also have any 
enlarged spiny scales at the side of the tail ; but the most important 
distinction lies in the presence of a large number of femoral pores, which 
are also somewhat less widely separated in the preanal region, than they 
are in 11. Coctwi. 
The general colour during life is, according to Mr. Blanford, olive 
grey to blackish olive, with irregular dark, pale edged marks in imperfect 
circles, inclined to form 4 or 5 transverse undulating bands on the body. 
In spirit these irregular markings are slightly traceable, and the whole body is 
besides rather finely mottled with brownish olive. Below uniform white. 
Hah. I have examined 9 specimens which were kindly lent to me for 
description by Mr. W. T. Blanford, who obtained the same in a solitary 
locality on the Godavari river near Badrachalam, on trees. The body of 
the smallest measures 4f inch., and of the largest a little above 5 inches. 
All have their tails partially reproduced, and the longest is only about 
4 J inches, in its original state it must have been at least 6 or 7 inches. In 
one of the largest specimens, the length of the head is If inches, and the 
width at the occiput If inches.

Body and tail covered with small, equal, granular scales, those on the 
snout being somewhat coarser ; 'tail depressed, rounded at the sides, contracted 
at the base, indistinctly segmented ; numerous small scales behind the 
rostral and the nostril ; 10 to 12 upper, and 9-10 lower labials ; two pairs 
of chin-shields, the first large, separated above by the rostral, below forming 
a suture, those of second pah - barely half the size, and each forming a suture 
with the respective anterior chin-shields and the second labial ; there is usual- 
ly a row of slightly enlarged scales along the lower labials, while those on 
the throat are very minute, almost granular, and greatly contrasting with the
