Regarding the specimens of Hißa infrafrenata from North Australia 

 I do not know, whether they vary in the same manner, or if they have 

 het disks constantly "much smaller than the tympanum." Possibly, they 

 form a geographical race with small tympanum, but it seems to me that 

 this Variation alone cannot be sufticient for distinguishing two different 

 species, the only difference of which should be that the one should have 

 digital disks much smaller, the other the same organs varying from 

 a little smaller to considerably larger, than the tympanum. 



Notes ou Indian and Africau lizards and frogs. 



Yaranus nebulosus Geay. 

 Blge., Cat. Liz. II, p. 311. 



Two small specimens obtained from Kravang, Java, (coli. Dr. L. de Vos) 

 confirms Bibeon's old Statement regarding the occurrence of this lizard 

 in Java, the correctness of which is disputed by Günthee, Rept. British 

 India. Also in the catalogue Brit. Mus., quoted above, it is recorded 

 only from the Indian continent. 



Eremias uudata Smith forma inornata Roux. 

 Blge., Cat. Liz. III, p. 92. Rotjx, Zool. Jahrb. Syst. 25, 1907, p. 427, 

 pl. 15, figs. 1 — 3. 

 2 specimens from Berseba, German S. W. Afriea (coli. C. Berger) corre- 

 spond very well with Roux' description of E. inornata, in agreement with 

 which they are uniform above without any bands ; the smaller specimen 

 is "graubräunlich" with red tint and with '"weissliche Ocellen in einer 

 Linie," whereas the larger is bright brick-red with blue ocelli on the 

 sides ; the distance between the loreal shield and the anterior supraocular 

 does not exceed the length of the latter, and the subocular shield is placed 

 between the 5 th and 6 th or 6 th and 7 th upper labials. All these charac- 

 teristics are not in correspondence with the diagnose of Eremias tinäata 

 to which Roux 1 species should belong, according to Botjlengee's Statement, 

 Ann. South Afr. mus. Vol. 5, Part. 9, p. 477. If Botjlengee's 

 opinion should be right, the two forms must be quite distinct varieties. 

 In the larger specimen there are three rows of granules between the 

 supraoculars and the supraciliaries, in the smaller only two, or even one 

 pn a short space below the first supraocular.
