Three Liolaemus -specimens, male, female and a young one, from 

 Yauli 4000 ni and Arapa 4500 m, Peru, probably belong to tbis species. 

 The type-specimen Wem er 's is a female, and bis description and 

 figure agree completely with the female in tliis collection, except that 

 tbe whole lower surface of the latter is uniform bluish gray ; nor tbere is 

 any well marked frontal, these being, however, differences of no specific 

 value. In tbe male tbe lateral band is narrower, tbe bind part of the 

 belly and the lower surface of tbe thighs black, and besides there are 

 black longitudinal spots on the bluish gray underparts. The male bas 58, 

 the female 54 scales round the middle of the body : all the scales 

 pointed, ending in an acute angle but not mucronated as in the following 

 species. In the female some of the temporals are feebly keeled, in the 

 male they are all quite smootb. The young one is dark brown with 

 very distinct lateral stripes ; below dark bluish gray without dark marbles. 

 The male has 4 anal pores. 



Measurements of the male : Total length 91mm (the tail regenerated); 

 from nose to vent 46 mm, from nose to eye 4 mm, from nose to ear 

 11mm, from nose to fore limbs 17 mm; length of fore limbs 16 mm: 

 length of femur 7,5 mm; from knee to the extremity of the 4 th toe 

 19 mm. The breath of head 9 mm. The total length of the female 

 is 132 mm, the length of the body 50 mm : the length of the young 

 respectively 53 and 22,5 mm.

6 specimens from Guaqui, Peru ; two males, one female, three 

 young. I was very mucli in doubt wether they ought to be referred 

 to tbis species or to the nearly allied L. bibronii Bell. They agree 

 very well with tbe descriptions of both these species and also in general 

 with Bell's figures of them. Yet, the dark lateral spots, which are 

 described in L. bibronii, are very faint, instead there is a well marked 

 light coloured lateral band, said to exist in L. cyanogaster; the 

 small number of scales round the middle of the body (40 — 46) also 

 seems to be a cyanogaster-character, but the scales of the head are
