148 MR, G. A. BOULENGER ON THE 
In other places on Monte Gargano, Prof. Neumann collected specimens of the 
Var. SERPA, 
on the whole, very similar to those from Rome and Naples, but some with compara- 
tively large scales, as may be seen from the following tabulation :—

In the specimens of the var. serpa, previously examined by me, 58 was the lowest 
number of scales across the body, 62 to 70 being the usual number; whilst in this little 
series I count 55 to 69. A specimen with as few as 50 scales is recorded further on, 
from Sicily. 
Var. BRUEGGEMANNI. 
The head of the male specimen represented on Pl. XVII. fig. 2, is remarkable for 
the large size of the temporal scales and for having the rostral shield entering the 
nostril, two characters which are often found combined in the yars. campestris and 
jiumana. ‘This specimen formed part of a number of lizards purchased by the 
Zoological Society as from ‘Tuscany. J may add that its frontal shield is much shorter 
than its distance from the end of the snout, a condition quite frequent in this variety. 
In a male from Bagni di Ripoli, near Florence, presented by Dr. Banchi, I find the 
temporal scutellation described by Méhely as typical of L. horvathi, the masseteric 
disk being low down and separated from the last labial by one series of scales and 
from the parietal by three (Pl. XVII. fig. 5), a state of things which I have occa- 
sionally met with in the typical form and other varieties. 
As believed by its original describer, this form connects the typical Wail-Lizard with 
the var. serpa. In the markings of the upper parts some specimens closely approach 
the spotted-streaked form of the latter; such is the male specimen from Florence, 
preserved in Dr. de Bedriaga’s Collection, figured on Pl. XVII. fig. 3. Figs. 1 and 4 
on the same Plate show how greatly the markings vary individually in examples from 
the same part of Italy.
