Ilahltat. Tlie types are from Zebil Bulghar Dagh, 4000 feet, presented by Mr. C. G. 

 Danford. Dr. Werner's specimens are from Dumbellek Dagh, also in the Ciliciau 

 Taurus. The young specimen from Kaisarich, referred to this species in the 'Catalogue 

 of Lizards,' belongs to Lcdndia cfrppadocica AVerner. The Syrian specimen meutioned 

 by Barbour (Proc. N. Engl. Zool. Club, v. 1914, p. 84) under the uame of Laccrta 

 danfordl should be compared with L. Icevis. 



Var. .\XATOLiCA Werner. 



The type-specimen (female) of this form is from near Eski Shehir, in Central Asia 

 Minor, and 1 am indebted to Dr. Werner for the examination of two males from the 

 same locality, one of which he has presented to tlie British Museum and is figured 

 on PI. V. fig. 3. L. oertzeni Werner, based on Boettger's L. danfordii from llhodes, 

 Samos, and Nicaria (S. Sporades), is regarded by Mehely as identical with L. anatolicu, 

 although he has omitted to refer to Werner's name in the synonymy. 



According to Werner's original description, L. anatolica is similar to L. danfordii, 



but nearer to L. vxycejihala. 1 can see no reason for any near approximation to the 



latter species, and Mehely more correctly regards L. anatolica aud L. danfordii as 



• Reddish wliite or red in life, according to Werner ; the lips are also red or reddish, accoiding to the 

 same uultior.
