190 BRITISH LIZARDS 



" Lacerta vivipara. — A specimen examined from 

 Morven, Sound of Mull, Argyll, June 1893. A young 

 specimen brought alive which had been captured in 

 Arran, September 3, 1888. Two specimens from the 

 Island of Eum, Hebrides, captured by Mr. Symington 

 Grieve and brought for identification, July 1884. 



" Anguis fragilis. — A specimen sent by Charles 

 Campbell from Morven, Sound of Mull, June 6, 

 1893. Another from same place, July 19, 1893, 

 measured 300 mm. One captured in June 1897, in 

 East Princes Street Gardens, brought alive. I have 

 also had it alive from Arthur's Seat. Several corre- 

 spondents in the Evening Dispatch, May 1896, speak 

 of the slow-worm as not uncommon on Blackford Hill. 



" L. agilis. — On October 8, 1895, I examined the 

 specimen of the sand lizard belonging to the Elgin 

 Museum. It was from Culbin Sands, and proved to 

 be only a medium-sized example of the common lizard 

 (Z. vivipara). This is the specimen upon which the 

 species has been included in the fauna of Scotland." 



Mr. Wm. Evans, F.E.S.E., Edinburgh, has been

 districts.

 is the commoner and more generally distributed in 

 Scotland. The following notes are additional to my 

 paper published by the Eoyal Physical Society in 

 1894 (vol. xii.):—
