This species is readily distinguished from F. cariruxtus by proportionately 
shorter and stouter limbs, and by a somewhat shorter head. As a rule the 
scales are in full grown specimens seven-carinate, the middle earina being 
separated from the adjoining by a somewhat deeper and wider sulcus, than 
exists between the other ridges. In Sub-Himalayan specimens this is 
particularly well marked. 
Blanford reported the occurrence of the species in various parts of 
Central India. The Indian Museum received specimens from Cachar and 
Asam, reported upon by Dr. Anderson. I obtained some on the Parisnath hill, 
exactly identical in the small size and uniform coloration with those noted 
by Blanford. There are only a few whitish spots at the side of the neck and 
the dusky colour of the sides of the belly gradually passes below into the 
white one. Specimens sent by Dr. Day from the Sone river in Birbhum
