I specimen from the neighbourhood of Ngare na nyuki. 1 small specimen 



from Kibonoto caught in Oct. 1905. - 1 specimen from a banana farm, Kibonoto 



6 /ii 1905. This specimen is better streaked on the lateral scales than the foregoing. 



1 specimen 30 ... 1905 Kibonoto. Caught on the ground among grass. This 

 specimen is also well streaked on the flanks and sides of the tail, that is the unbroken, 

 not reproduced part of this organ. It is evident that this species is rather long-tailed, 

 although as a rule more or less of the tip has been broken off and reproduced. But 

 in this specimen the tail (including 25 mm. reproduced at the tip) measures 86 mm. 

 while the length of head and body is 55 mm. only. 



1 specimen from banana plantations Kibonoto G /8 1905. Length of head and 

 body 72 mm., length of tail, partly reproduced 94 mm. The streaks of the scales 

 form continonus longitudinal bands on the flanks. 



It is interesting to see how the reproduced parts of the tail of this lizard have 

 a different lepidosis with large transversal shields across the lower surface and a series 

 of enlarged scales along the dorsal surface as well, instead of the normal scales. In 

 this respect it differs entirely from L. nwdestiOH which has no enlarged shields on the 

 lower surface of the reproduced tail.

Eighteen specimens, Oct. 1905, Kibonoto. - 9 specimens 24 / 8 Kibonoto. 



Run extremely swiftly, caught under stones on the steppe . 



1 specimen i3 /io 1905. >On the glowing hot grass steppe near the river Ngare 

 na nyuki*. 



The interparietal exhibits a good deal of variation in size etc. in these speci- 

 mens. Sometimes it is very small, sometimes it is more or less confluent with the 

 frontoparietal. In a few specimens this confusion is quite complete so that the inter- 

 parietal and frontoparietal form only one shield, in others part of the sutures remain.
