larger scales on the abdomen ; ear opening rather small, rounded ; a moderate- 
ly developed gland on each side in the place of the paratoids, generally 
more distinctly seen above than below ; thumb small, well developed, with 
a minute claw ; about 38 long, rows of scales across the middle of the belly, 
extending somewhat on the sides ; 14-16 femoral pores in each series, 
separated by a width of about 3 scales in the preanal region ; a row of 
transversely enlarged shields along the middle of the lower side of the tail. 
Grey or light brown, slightly mottled with dark brown and four 
longitudinal series of blackish spots interrupted by white ones ; two of the 
series originate on the superciliary region and two in continuation of a 
blackish streak, originating at the lower half of the eye ; head above and labials 
black spotted ; tail also with dark transverse spots above ; below uniform 
white, with the shields of the belly generally very minutely punctated. The 
brown series of spots are not in all specimens equally distinct, and some- 
times they are almost obsolete. Specimens which have shrunk much in 
spirit shew, like all other Geckos, a fold on the side of the body, and the tail 
becomes also slightly angular at the sides. 
Blyth’s original description of the coloration of this species is decidedly 
better, than the supposed improved one by Theobald. The type specimen came 
from Mergui ; Theobald found it common in Pegu ; I have received it from 
the Khasi hills, and collected a great number of specimens about Pankabari, 
just above the Sikkim Terrai, mostly on the outside walls of houses ; one 
specimen was also sent to me by Mr. A. W. Lawder from Almorah, in 
Kamaon. 
The largest specimen from Pankabari measures 4J inches, of which 
the body is 2g inch.

Body and tail depressed, covered with numerous small rounded tuber- 
cles, there being in old specimens generally a few larger ones perceptible at 
the side of the body and on the sacral region ; snout elongate, depressed, 
with the scales larger than on the body ; tail depressed, gradually tapering 
to a point, moderately convex above, somewhat flattened below, indis- 
tinctly segmented, laterally sharply keeled and serrated, the tubercles at the 
end of each segment being white and more prominent than others. There 
is a pair of somewhat enlarged shields behind the rostral, separated by- a 
slightly smaller shield ; the nostril lies between the rostral, the 1st labial, 
the supra-nasal and two moderately enlarged post-nasals ; 12 — 14 upper, and 
10 12 lower labials, the last in each case, as usually, very small ; 2 pairs of 
enlarged chin-shields, the first forms with the lower halves a suture below the
