RECORDS OF IV. A MUSEUM. 
Variety B.— Only two distinct lines down the back. Fore 
limb represented by a minute papilla, situated in a 
small depression, below the general surface. Eighteen 
to twenty scales round the body. 
Lygosoma picturatum is allied to L. gervavdi, Gray, 1 but also 
appears to possess affinities with L.walkeri, Blgr. 2 The three 
species may be distinguished as follows : — 
Lygosoma gerrardi, Gray. 
Three supraoculars, second largest. Five supraciliaries. 
Frontoparietals distinct. Yellowish above with a dark 
lateral and a broad dorsal band. 
Lygosoma picturatum , sp. nov. 
Two supraoculars, the first much the larger. Three or 
four supraciliaries. Frontoparietals distinct. Buff coloured 
above, with a dark lateral band and two to four rows of 
spots confluent into lines on the back and tail. 
Lygosoma walheri, Blgr. 
Three supraoculars, second largest. Five supraciliaries. 
Frontoparietals fused into a single shield. Greyish above, 
each scale with a black dot, which is largest on the fourth 
scale from the mid-dorsal line. 
Localities. — I have examined nine specimens of this new 
species. Two, including the Type, were presented to the Trustees 
of the Australian Museum by Mr. W. D. Campbell, who collected 
them at Boulder. A third specimen was collected by the same 
gentleman at Perth. Five other specimens are without locality, 
and differ somewhat from the typical form in having only two lines 
down the back. In the collection forwarded by Mr. Woodward is 
a single large specimen, figured on Plate XXVII, fig. 3, and Text 
fig. 5. This specimen is unfortunately without data. 
Type.— In the Australian Museum at Sydney, Reg. No. R. 
3101. A co-type is in the W.A. Museum.
