I have little to add to the description given of this variety from Italian specimens *. 
I will only observe that the scales on the flanks may be a little larger than the dorso- 
laterals, that minute scales may be present behind the anal plate 7, as described by 
Méhely in LZ. anatolica and L. danfordi, and record the following exceptions to the 
normal lepidosis :—Two postnasals on one side ina ¢ from Zara; series of granules 
between the supraoculars and the supraciliaries complete in three specimens (Grado, 
Zara), sometimes reduced to 3 or 4 (Sansego, Zara) ; masseteric disk sometimes 
very small or indistinct (Sansego) ; anterior temporal in contact with fourth supra- 
ocular in three specimens from Sansego } (PI. XX. fig. 5). 
As regards coloration, some specimens conform strictly to the description of De Betta, 
others approach very closely the specimen of var. serpa from Pompeii figured by me §, 
* Tr, 1905, p. 390. 
+ One d-from Pola, one 9 from Zara. 
+ [have given a figure of one of these three specimens in Ann. & Mag. N. H. (8) v. 1910, p. 250. This 
Méhely regards as an abnormal specimen, “ dessen Supratemporalschild keine Bedeutung beigemessen werden 
kann, Ich bin iiberzeugt, das sich Herr Boulenger lange bemiihen musste, um noch ein Stiick mit dhnlicher 
Pholidose zu finden ” (Ann. Mus, Hung. viii. 1910, p. 227).
