The anterior pair is well developt, having an antero- posterior width of 35 mm. The costals are about 3 mm. in thickness. The peripheral bones are relatively large, and there are only 10 of them on each side. The second measures 26 mm. from the free border to the union with the costal plate; the third, 35 mm. The free borders of the anterior and posterior peripherals are acute. They attain a maximum thickness of about 9 mm. The sulci bounding the epidermal scutes are moderately imprest. There is a very small nuchal scute. The vertebral scutes have a width each of about.
