A species of Oedura with flat, round, juxtaposed, dorsal scales about as large as the ventrals, characterized by numerous irregularly placed spots much smaller than the orbit. The spots frequently coalesce to form transverse cross bands (pi. 3). The spotted specimens of coggeri can be separated from tryoni by the possession of a pale unspotted area in the postorbital to occipital region of the head. This area is bounded by a line running along the side of the head, passing through the eye, and joining with its neighbour at the nape of the neck. DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT The distribution of Oedura coggeri and 0. tryoni is shown in text-fig. 2. Neither species penetrates far inland and both are probably restricted to Eastern Oedura cogger!
