VARIETIES OF THE WALL-LIZARD. 181 
female specimens. Males usually have a black vertebral stripe, straight or wavy, or 
a vertebral series of large black spots, separated from the spots on the sides by a 
narrower streak of the ground colour; these spots may form longitudinal series, coarse 
marblings, or cross-bars.

A female 48 mm. long from snout to vent is gravid. 
As regards the scaling, I note the following departures from what is normal in the 
var. serpa. The series of granules between the supraoculars and the supraciliaries 
is usually complete; in 5 specimens out of 18 the parietal is not in contact with 
the upper postocular; one specimen has 6 anterior upper labials, and two lack the 
masseteric disk. 
The var. adriatica is described by Werner as distinguished by a greyish-green or 
bluish-grey ground colour with the markings much less sharply defined, of a dark 
greyish brown. These markings consist of a dark vertebral stripe with round light 
spots, and a dark network on the sides enclosing round light spots ; small dark spots 
on the head; belly greyish (in spirit). 
Here follow the measurements (in millimetres) of the two type specimens :—

One of these specimens is figured on Pl. XX. fig. o: 
4 or 5 rows of scales correspond to one ventral plate; the dorsal scales are round 
granules without distinct keel; the first supraocular is normal in the male, but is 
broken up into two or three granules in the female; the male has four anterior
