HORN EXPEDITION—REPTILIA. 
Tiliq ua, Gray. 
(4) Tiliqua occipitalis^ Peters. 
Two specimens of this lizard were collected. Both exhibit slight variations 
from B.M.O. description of the type. Tlie prsefrontals are in contact in the 
middle line. This point was noted by McCoy (Prod. Zool. Vic., pi. 171) in the 
Victorian specimens. Ear-lobes five (B.M.C. thi’ee). The fore-limb shorter than 
head, contained three and a half times in the distance between axilla and groin. 
Colour. —Bands across tlie body brown, numerous (11-12), each only about two 
scales wide. All the limbs black on the upper surfaces. 
Two specimens subsequently obtained from the same locality by Professor 
Spencer agree with Boulenger’s description in both structure and colouration. 
From this it might be assumed there are two well-marked varieties. Victorian 
examples, however, exhibit the same variation in structure as the former specimens, 
but have the broad bands of the latter. 
Habits. —Found under logs; not seen in the open during the daytime. 
Localities. —Oodnadatta, Charlotte Waters. 
Distribution. —Swan River (B.M.C.), Fraser Range (Elder Exped.), Western 
and North-western Victoria (McCoy and Lucas and Frost). 
Hinulia, Gray. 
(4) Hinulia lesueurii, D. and B. 
An extensive series, exhibiting a remarkable range of variation. We 
accordingly describe a number of examples somewhat in detail. 
A. —Typical in structure and colouring. Ground colour from pale brown to 
dark olive-brown. Several specimens. 
B. —Typical in colouring. Prtefrontals separated. 
C. —Typical in structure, except that praBfrontals are separated. 
Dorsal surface of body.- —Ground colour pale olive-green, a black vertebral band 
edged on either side with a narrow band of ground colour; a light dorso-lateral 
line fiom above the ear to the tail; the whole of the space between this and the 
light border of the vertebral band, except on the nape, occupied by a broad black 
band. Sides. —A broad black band, bearing a linear series of light spots, from
