Since Mr. Boulenger has withdrawn his species E. boettgeri (B.M. Cat., 
Vol. HI., p. 482), only one species of Ebenavia has been previously recognised, 
and that only from Madagascar. In general outline the present species closely 
agrees with Mr. Boulenger’s figure (B.M. Cat., Vol. I., pi. viii., fig. 1), and the 
colour bands agree fairly with those of his Madagascar specimen. The chief 
points of distinction in the Eremian form is the entire absence of anything like 
longitudinal series of large tubercles. 
The nearest allies to the clawless genus Ebenavia are met with in the genus 
Fhyllodaclylus. Species of Fhyllodactylus occur in South Africa and Madagascar. 
Indeed only the most trivial dilierences can be found between F. porphyreus, 
Baud., from these regions and the widely-distributed Australian form F. inar- 
vioratus^ Gray. 
Diplodactylus, Gray. 
(7) Diplodactylus ciliaris, Blgr. 
Three specimens. 
Locality. —Between Charlotte Waters Station and Crown Point. 
Distribution. —Boulenger’s specimens were from Port Darwin. The closely- 
allied species, D. spinigerus, Gray, is recorded from Freeniantle, Houtman’s 
Abrolhos, Champion Bay (B.M.C.), and Fraser Range (Elder Expecl., 1892). 
Habits. —Found under the bark of trees.
