and streaked with blackish brown, intermixed with some pale spots, particu- 
larly on the limbs ; tail with dark brown and alternate irregular white spots. 
Some specimens have a kind of indistinct transverse, dark bands, one on 
neck, one on the sacral region and three on the back, they are separated 
respectively from each other, as in Schneider’s figure, by three confluent 
white spots, - placed in a triangle, with the point directed backwards ; the 
three series of spots on the back are the most distinct. A whitish, or pale 
orange, band rims through the eye, indistinctly continuing on the side of the 
body ; it is margined below by a blackish band, most distinct and broadest 
at the side of the head. Lower side of body and tail uniform whitish, the 
scales very often finely punctated.

The young of this species is reddish brown with some darker brown 
marks on the upper side of the body, and a series of rather large white

PI. IX, fig. 4, side view of tlio animal, nat. size ; 4 a lower side of head and 
4 b, Bacral region, both twice the natural size. 
Body rather slender and elongate, depressed, covered above with numer- 
ous small roundish tubercles, between which larger ones of a similar shape, 
but of about double the size of the former, are intermixed. Upper side of 
head equally granular, the granular scales being somewhat larger on the 
snout. Rostral large, broad, reaching well on to the upper surface of the 
snout ; it is followed by 5 small granular scales. The nostril is situated 
somewhat laterally in the angle between the rostral, first upper labial, one 
small scale above and another similar ono posteriorly. There are 9 upper, and 8 
lower labials, the last three in each case very much smaller than the preceding 
ones. The lower rostral is triangular, partially wedged in- between two 
elongated chin-shields, forming a suture below it. Each of the chin- 
shields is followed along the labials by 3 other somewhat rounded shields, 
none of which are in contact. Opening of the ear small, rounded. Scales 
on the chin small, equal, rounded; on the belly slightly elongated, and in 
about 32 longitudinal scries across the middle ; on the tail, which, however, 
appears to have been twice reproduced, the scales are also elongate, slightly 
smaller above than below, but not transversely enlarged, and without any en- 
larged spines at the sides. The fore limb reaches to the snout, and the hind limb 
very nearly to the axil, when laid forward. The 3rd and 4th fingers and toes
