F. Stoliczka — On Indian Lizards. 
[No. 2, 
slightly larger than the rest on nook. Nasal shield moderate, pierced nearly 
in the middle by the nostril ; one loreal, one preocular separated from the 
angle of the eye by a few minute shields ; 3 or 4 small shields at the hinder 
angle of the eye, followed by regular scales. Upper labials 6, the eye above 
the 3rd and 4th ; lower labials 5, narrow but long ; lower rostral large, follow- 
ed by one single and 3 pairs of enlarged chin shields. Scales on neck smooth, 
on body slightly two-keeled, round the middle of body in 26 longitudinal 
rows, there being 6 rows on the back, exclusive one row on either edge ; on 
the belly there are also 6 rows, the scales being slightly larger than those of 
the back ; 35 transverse rows between fore and bind limb ; the two median 
preanal shields somewhat larger than the others ; subeaudals not very conspi- 
cuously enlarged, (but they are generally enlarged in this group of Scincidje 
when the tail has been reproduced) . The fore limb, when laid forward, reaches 
to the angle of the mouth, and the length of the hind limb is equal to half 
the distance between axil and groin. Total length of specimen 3.62 inches, 
head and body being 1.5 inches. 
General colour, above, dark fulvous brown, each of the scales in the 6 
dorsal rows with a median black streak, forming black longitudinal lines, 
continued on the tail ; edge of back a little more distinctly fulvous brown, 
sides blackish with small white spots ; below, yellowish white, spotted with 
black on chin and throat ; tail below variegated with black and yellowish 
white, (during life probably reddish). 
Hah. According to Major Beddome, common in moist jungles of the 
Western Ghats between 2000 and 5000 feet elevation.

Theobold’s description of It. anguina is somewhat incomplete. Dr. Ander- 
son having kindly shown me the specimens in the Museum, I found that they 
belong to two distinct species, and that his description, as regards coloration 
at least, partly refers to anguina, partly to cyanella. In order to prevent 
misapprehension I give a brief description of the characters of both, and add a 
figure of each species. 
It. anguina. Body elongate, subcylindrical, slightly depressed ; head 
conical, rather short ; supranasals in contact behind the rostral ; anterior
