Chamaeleon bitaeniatus ellioti Gthr. 5 sp. collected in 

 May, 5 in June, all from the eastern slopes of Mt. Elgon by 

 H. Granvik. Concerning the colour of these specimens may 

 be said that they all display the same pattern with two påle 

 lateral bands, although the lower sometimes is rather faint. 

 The folds on the sides of the throat extending towards the 

 shoulders are black. Usually there is a påle band from be- 

 low the eye to the corner of the mouth and another from 

 behind the eye towards the shoulder. These bands as well 

 as the lateral ones appear somewhat reddish, especially where 

 the postocular band is continued on the lower side of the 

 upper arm. Red markings, sometimes in shape of fine net- 

 work appears also to be present in the living animal. The 

 principal markings mentioned above can plainly be seen on 

 Boulenger's figure of this Chamaeleon, Träns. Zool. Soc. 

 London, vol. XIX, pl. VIII, fig. 4. According to the author 

 quoted this Chamaeleon lives on Ruwenzori at approximately 

 the same altitude.

 rudiment of the right lateral horn, while the left is entirely 

 missing.
