of scales may be counted between the parietal and the labials and each such row 

 contains about 9 11 scales, but in the specimens from Kibonoto the corresponding 

 numbers are 5 6 (7) and 6 7 (8). If all these small differences are constant, - 

 which, however, can not be proved as the typical form only has been found in one 

 specimen - - the specimens from Kibonoto appear to belong to a somewhat aberrant 

 geographical subspecies for which I take the liberty of proposing kibonotensis as a 

 third name. A direct comparison might then also reveal some other small characteristics. 

 From the forest east of Kagera River in German East Africa TORNIER described 

 1902 a lizard which he named Lacerta vaureselli and regarded to be related to L. 

 jacksoni BOULENGER. TORNIER'S lizard differs from L. jacksoni and the lizard from 

 Kibonoto in having 11 plates in the serrated collar but no gular fold, only 8 femo- 

 ral pores, and only 6 series of ventral plates. They are thus easily distinguished 

 from each other.
