164 MR. G. A. BOULENGER ON THE 
In specimens from Albania, according to Klaptocz, J. ¢., the hind limb does not 
extend beyond the axil in males, the scales across the body vary between 45 and 57, 
and the femoral pores between 13 and 20. 
Thanks to the courtesy of Prof. zur Strassen and Dr. Lehrs, I have examined the 
specimens from Prevesa in Epirus, in the extreme north of Greece, preserved in the 
Senckenberg Museum at Frankfort (Main), first referred by Boettger * to the typical 
form, with a remark as to their resemblance in form and coloration to L. tawrica, and 
later referred to the var. tiliguertat+. ‘These specimens have since been identified 
with LZ. tonica by Lehrs, and I regard them as belonging to L. taurica, of which 
LL. ionica is, at most, a variety}. I append particulars of the two largest of these 
specimens :—-

Var. BREVICEPS. 
This variety, which I described in my previous contribution as doubtfully from 
Italy, occurs in Herzegovina, as has been pointed out to me by Dr. Werner, and I now 
think it very likely that the specimens in the Naples University Museum came from 
Kast of the Adriatic. On looking through the large collection of Lizards in the 
Florence Museum, I failed to find any that could be referred to this variety. 
I append particulars of three specimens from Babaplanina, Herzegovina, for which 
I am indebted to Dr. Werner; the first two form part of his private collection, the 
third is now in the British Museum.

Dorsal scales large and flat, much larger than the scales on the flanks, round or 
roundish-hexagonal, very distinctly keeled. Caudal scales pointed behind, moderately 
keeled, very oblique, the whorls often very distinctly longer and shorter alternately 
(25 or 26 in the fourth whorl behind the postanal granules). Collar feebly serrated. 
Hind limb reaching wrist or elbow of adpressed hind limb ; foot not or but slightly 
longer than head. Black spots on belly absent, or ( ¢ ) confined to the sides.
