Column 3 refers to the longitudinal rows of ventral plates, 4-8 as in 3-7 of preceding tables. 



The three forms may be diagnosed as follows : — 



Forma typica. Head about If to 1| times as long as broad ; ventrals in G or 8 

 longitudinal rows ; pra3anal small or very small, usually undivided ; upper caudal scales 

 oblique ; femoral pores 16 to 25. g 



Var. anaiolica. Head about lito 1| times as long as broad ; ventrals in 8 (rarely 6) 

 longitudinal rows ; pra?anal usually divided ; upper caudal scales oblique ; femoral 

 pores 15 to 21. 



Var. grceca. Head about IJ to If times as long as broad ; ventrals in 6 longitudinal 

 rows ; prseanal rather large, undivided ; upper caudal scales straight or slightly 

 oblique ; femoral pores 20 to 28 ; frontal often in contact with first supraocular.
