nasal shields, by the presence of granules on the inner side of the supraorbital shields and by 
colouration. 
Erom Western Turkestan Severtzoff" quotes, besides E. mriaUUs and E. ccBmleo-ocellata 
{?E.velow)y two species which he calls E. intevwiedius^ Strauch, and E. eTytliTUTUs. Neither of 
these species, so far as I know, has been described; E. eTythfUTUS, Severtzoff himself suggests, 
may he the young of E. velox. Two species of ScapteiTU/ and LcicBftoj stifpiwnfL are also 
included in the list of reptiles obtained in Western Turkestan. 
E. vermiculata may he the same as E. pylzowi collected by Przevalski in the deserts of 
Alashan, 27 degrees of longitude east of Yarkand. The principal characters of the two 
species are similar, and so is the colouration, hut, judging from the figure, the toes of the fore 
foot are considerably shorter in E. pylzowi.

1, Chakoti on the road from Mari to Srinagar, in Kashmir. 
This is a very much larger specimen than the types, and so much stouter, that at first 
I was much inclined to consider it distinct. But the proportions are the same, and the only 
structural distinction I can find is, that there are twenty-three rows of scales round the body 
instead of twenty-one. This amount of variation is commonly found in scinques. 
The length of the specimen is 13 inches; tail, probably renewed when young, 6; circum¬ 
ference round the middle of the body, 3; head, 0‘95 long; fore limb, 1’35 ; hind limb, 1'75, both 
to the end of the claws. The colour noted by Dr. Stoliczka on the living specimen is brown 
above, with a dark central stripe, upper parts of sides darker and with small white spots in longi¬ 
tudinal rows; the upper portion of the limbs also spotted, lower portion of sides greenish, 
this colour extending across the ears to the lower labials; feet below pale fleshy, the whole 
of the lower surface deep waxy yellow. In spirits the middle of the hack is very little darker 
than the lateral portions.
