 Hemidactyliis isolepis Blge. 



BouLENGER. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1895, p. 531. 



A Single male specimen. 



Length of head and body 36 mm; length of tail 24mmV (tlie tail 

 is loose from the body, except a small piece of the base, and probably 

 a part of the loosened tail has come off) : length of head to ear-opening 

 9 mm; width of head 7 mm: length of fore limb 12 mm; length of 

 bind limb 16 mm. 



As my specimen difters somewhat from the description of H. 

 isolepis, given by Boulengee, I was doubtfui, whether it ought to 

 be refcrred to this species, especially as this is not hitherto found in 

 Abyssinia. Dr. Boulengee, however, has kindly compared it with the 

 type-specimen, and says that it is a Hemidactylus isolepis. I am 

 therefore able to State that this species is to be found in Abyssinia 

 too. From the description, ({uoted above, the specimen differs in the 

 following points : The anterior part of the head is covered with distinct 

 juxtaposed scales, not granules ; the scales are about 8 between the 

 nostril and the eye; the upper labials are 7 and the lower 6 instead 

 of 8 and 7, the head is broader and the colour is dark brown with 

 narrow light transverse stripes across the back, five in numl»er. 



Tareiitola aiiuiilaris Geoffr. 

 One specimen. 



Eremias spekii Gthe. var. sextaeniata Stejn. 



Stejneger. P. U. S. Nat. Mus. 16. 1893, p. 718. 



One specimen. 



In Sitzber. Akad. Wiss. Wien. Mat. Nat. Gl. Bd. 116, 

 Abt. 1, 1907 Weenee states the north ränge of this lizard to be 

 5 ^ Lat. of North, and in bis list of the distribution of the reptiles of 

 these regions he does not mention it to ])e found in Abyssinia. 

 Toeniee, however, mentions six specimens from Harrar (Zool. 

 Jahrb. Abt. Syst. Bd. 22, 1905, p. 877), and therefore it seems 

 as if the species were not rare in tliis place. All the specimens 

 of Toeniee, as well as this one, belong to the variety sextaeniata 

 Stejn. It seems to me that Toeniee (loc. cit.) has given sufficient 

 reasons for bis Statement that the form is not to be considered as a 

 distinct species but only as a variety of E. spekii Gthe.
