Land and Fresh-water Vertebrates in Victoria. 47 



The table discloses the interesting fact that the Geckos are 

 apparently altogether absent from Tasmania, and the forests of 

 south-east Victoria, while they abound in the drier interior. 

 Other forms restricted to the north-west are Lialis, Amphibolurus 

 pictus, Vara mis gouldii, Trachysaurus, Tiliqua occipitalis, Rhodona 

 punctato-vittata, and Ablepharus bontonii, and A. greyi. The 

 Tasmanian Lizards are of much fewer species than the Victorian, 

 but they are of South Victorian alliances, comprising a rather 

 marked subsection of Amphibolurus, and a number of the skinks 

 with a transparent disk in the lower eyelid. Homolepida 

 casuarince, probably occurs or has occurred in East Gippsland, as 

 it is found in Coastal New South Wales.
