coloration, but the young is lighter brown, with better defined cross- 
bars; it has a whitish streak between eye and ear instead of the tem- 
poral spots, and the chin and middle of throat are whitish. 
Remarks.—This species is apparently closely allied to Tropido- 
phorus brooke, from which it differs in several essential points, espe- 
cially in the number and size of the supralabials, the relative length 
of interparietal and parietals, the relative size of ventrals and dorsals, 
and apparently “in the length of the tail. 
@Boulenger (Cat. Liz. Brit. Mus., III, 1887, p. 361) says of 7. brookei that 
the tail is “ nearly twice as long as the body,” but in the dimensions given that 
of the body is said to be 68 mm., while that of tail is 155 mm., consequently 
much more than twice the body.
