Hahitat. Syria ; also recorded from Rhodes and Cyprusr Althousih I have, in the 

 course of the past forty years, looked over several large collections of Cyprus reptiles, 

 I have never come across a specimen of tliis or any other species of Lacerta from that 

 Island. A small series of reptiles, collected by Mr. C. G. Danford on Rhodes in 

 1879, contains examples of one Lacerta only, L. viridis, var. major. The record of 

 this species from the Cilician Taurus by Werner (Jahrb. Nat. Ver. Magdeb. f. 1896- 

 1897, p. 7) is perhaps based on some variety of L. danfordii. 



In all probability L. hevis is directly derived from a form closely related to 

 L. hrandtii. There is not a single character opposed to such a derivation. 



Lacerta jayakari. 



Lacerta ja//alari Bouleiig. Cat. Liz. iii. p. 40, pi. ii. (1887).
