J^^t TT"" --id«--tion I have decided to unite the Syrian form 

 with that from Cyprus, as the only important difference "resides in 

 the stronger and sharper keels on the dorsal scales-a difference of 

 degree which is not greater than we find in varieties of other species 

 A. .ulgar^s, A. scuteUatus). The keeled temporal scales and ratL 

 larger gular scales (27 to 32, rarely 35, in a straight line) are no 

 important characters m the light of the variations °in other specter 

 18 to .2 scales in a transverse series between the hind limbs ; 21 to 

 26 femoral pores on each side. In 10 specimens from Beyrut (out 

 o 14 examined) the frontonasal is longitudinally bisected, and in

In ts strongly keeled scales this form approaches the typical 

 j. 5o.^.a,«., of which it has been regarded as a variety by Boeft "r 

 and by Lataste ; but it is easily distinguished from it by the smalle 



appears to be always entire.
