dered as forming a supplementary row of ventral plates; the outermost of the longitudinal series of ventral plates is composed in the very post-axillar region of so small elements that they appear rather to be supplementary ventral plates than true ventrals. Anal plate („preanal" in BOULENGER'S terminology) large, about 2 A /2 times broader than long, bordered by 2 semicircles of small plates, of which there are 8 — 6 according to DE MÉHELY and BOULENGER — in the inner, i. e. posterior, row, the median pair of which is enlarged and constitutes the well developed preanals; the outer, or anterior, semicircle is composed of 12 scales, forming a rather irregular row. Fine granular scales present at the hind border of anal; BLANFORD and BOULENGER do not mention this character, whilst according to DE MÉHELY, no scales are to be found posteriorly bordering the anal. Ventral surface of upper and lower arm presenting granular scales that are smaller in the latter than in the former, the granules being smallest in the elbow-bent; the zone of small antebrachial granules ends at about half the length of the lower arm, and forms a distad pointed elongate subtriangular figure. — Femoral pores 15 on the right and 17 on the left side; 14 in the type, 15—16 in both DE MÉHELY'S and BOULENGER'S specimens. 5 longitudinal rows of scales between femoral pores and largest series of plates on lower surface of thigh; 6 rows present in the young specimen, according to DE MÉHELY; formula of plates on ventral surface of tibia; 1 (feebly keeled) — 1 — 1 — 2 (—1 feebly keeled) ; DE MÉHELY records altogether 5 longitudinal series of tibial plates; BLANFORD and BOULENGER omit the description of such details, BLANFORD only observing that the scales ,,on the lower portion of the fore-arm and tarsus very little larger than on the humerus and thigh", (1, p. 124, footnote) in which case, of course, the expression „tarsus" is wrong, for BLANFORD meant the tibia. Lower caudal scales somewhat less sharply keeled than the dorsals, bluntly pointed, i. e. not so sharply pointed as in the dorsals; median pair of longitudinal series of ventral caudals somewhat broader than the other ones, in the first three whirls only, especially so in the second and third whirl; according to DE MÉHELY the median rows are not broader than the lateral ones ; according to BOULENGER the lower caudals too are strongly keeled, whilst the lateral caudal scales are very oblique. Himatology: pileus light olive, with a rusty hue, especially in the parietal region, present on the upper surface of fore limbs,
