L. horvathi is to stand as a species. In fact, one of these two specimens, obtained by 
Dr. Gadow at Burbia, Spain, and of which particulars follow, bears a most striking 
resemblance to L. horvathi. Both specimens are again females; the male of this 
variety is still unknown.

The larger specimen, which is blotched with black on the back, the larger spots 
forming a pair of vertebral series, differs from the types in the lower number of femoral 
pores (14-15 instead of 17-20), in having the series of granules between the supra- 
oculars and the supraciliaries incomplete, and in the absence of a masseteric disk, the 
temple being covered with small irregular shields. The parietal forms a short suture

with the upper postocular. ‘The smaller specimen, in which the back is olive-brown, 
with a few black dots, bordered on each side by a sharply-defined blackish-brown band, 
has the anterior loreal divided into two superposed shields, an azygous shield separates 
the prefrontals, the anterior supratemporal forms a suture with the fourth supra- 
ocular, and the posterior dorsal scales are feebly but very distinctly keeled. The 
temporal scutellation of this specimen (Pl. XVI. fig. 14) is interesting, as it repro- 
duces the condition described by Prof. Méhely in LZ. horvathi (1909, p. 602): ‘ Es ist 
von hervorragender Wichtigkeit, dass das Massetericun tief wnten liegt und wahrend es 
vom Supratemporale meist durch zwei Schildchen getrennt wird, stosst es mit dem 
nichsten Supralabiale oft zusammen, oder es wird von demselben héchstens durch ee 
Schildchen getrennt; ein dihnliches Verhalten ist mir von keiner anderen Lacerta 
bekannt”*. The scutellation of the lower surface of the tibia corresponds to 
Méhely’s figure on pl. xxiv. fig. 3.
