Upper head-scales small, obtusely keeled; nasal separated fi'om the rostral; no large supraoeulars; parietals broken up. Sides of neck not plicate, covered with-pointed, imbricate, keeled scales. A well-developed dorsal crest. Dorsal scales large, mucronate, strongly keeled, the keels forming straight longitudinal lines; laterals quite as large; ventrals a little smaller, smooth; 45 scales round the middle of the body. Gular scales nearly as large as dorsals. The hind limb, stretched forwards, reaches the ear or the eye. Tail feebly compressed, crested at the base only. Pale brown above, with black chevron-shaped markings, pointing backwards, across the back; sides with small black spots; a more or less marked black and white spot or ocellus above the fore limb; loreal and subocular region cream-colour, the edge of the mouth black; gular region cream-colour, streaked with blackish, with a median black patch followed by a pink one; a black bar across the pectoral region, confluent with a black stripe along the middle line of the belly, widening on the pr~ eanal region and continued under the hind limbs; sides of belly pink. These ventral markings absent in the young. Total length 232 millim.; from snout to vent 87; head 20; width of head 14; fore limb B4; hind limb 56. Four specimens from Ofia, 6500 feet. I avail myself of this opportunity to observe that the lizard from Mr. Simons's collection recently described by me as Ameiva leucostigma ([9. ZS 1899, p. 517, pl. xxviii.) is a Cnemidophorus, and is identical with C. lentiginosus, G-arm.(Bull. Essex Inst. xxiv. 1892, p. 92), as pointed out to me by my friend Count Peracca. t) rostherap [s tricolor.Snout depressed~ projecting, squarely truncate, as long as the eye, with angular canthus rostralis and vertical loreal region; nostril nearer the end of the snout than the eye; interorbital space broader than the upper eyelid; tympanum perfectly distinct, its greatest diameter two thirds that of the eye. First finger not extending beyond second; toes free/terminal disks and subarticular tubercles of fingers and toes rather small; t~ o small metatarsal tubercles. The rib; otarsal articulation reaches the eye when the hind limb is stretched ibrwards. Skin smooth. Lemon-yellow; a black lateral band~ from the end of the snout to the groin, passing through the eye and the tympanum; another more or less
