EINAR LÖNNBERG, REPTILES. 3 



tlie root of the tail the scales increase in size and they be- 

 come more strongly mucronate already on the depressed 

 basal portion, bnt still more so beyond this part. The keels 

 occupy, if present, however, only the terminal portion of the 

 scales and many scales, especially in some specimens, are 

 completely smooth, although provided with a terminal mucro. 

 There is no raised ridge even on the distal portion of the 

 tail, which beyond the basal flattened portion is cylindrical. 

 Males with 14 light-coloured callose praeanal scales. 



Concerning the colour Mr. Granvik has written on the 

 label: >;Head red, other parts bluish» and on another label: 

 »Head coral red, body and legs ultramarine blue». In addi- 

 tion to this may be said that a blackish band is to be seen 

 across the throat, just in front of the folds, which themselves 

 also are red. 



Length of the largest specimen from snout to vent 110 

 mm.; head 33 mm.; width of head 24 mm.; length of tibia 

 approximately 26 mm. 



Two specimens with perfect tails and with a length from 

 snout to vent of resp. 99 and 102 mm. have the length of 

 the tail amounting to about 165 mm. 



The specimens collected were found on rocks. 



Agama lionotus Blgr. A specimen from Soy, collected 

 in May 1920 by Mr. Granvik, resembles the foregoing in being 

 distinctly depressed, but it has a broader and blunter head, 

 considerably larger and more strongly keeled and spinous 

 scales on the tail and only 9 callose praeanal scales. It is 

 by these characteristics easy to distinguish from the Elgon 

 Agama. It resembles in most features A. lionotus, except 

 perhaps that it appears to have somewhat smaller scales, 

 on the body and shorter spines at the ear-opening. The latter 

 fact may be due to the youth of the specimen. It may be 

 possible that the above described Agama of EJgon is a moun- 

 tain race allied to A. lionotus, from which, however, it is 

 easily distinguished. 



Agama atricollis Smith. A specimen collected on the 

 eastern slopes of Mt. Elgon, 6500 f., 16 July 1920. 



Lacerta jacksoni Blgr. Five adult and a small specimen, 

 all collected on the eastern slopes of Mt. Elgon at an alti-
