Shape of head and proportions exactly as in the typical form of L. mwralis; hind 
limb reaching the shoulder or the collar in the male, the elbow of the adpressed fore 
limb in the female. 
Rostral not touching the nostril, usually separated from the frontonasal f; nasal 
sometimes forming a suture with the anterior loreal } ; granules between the supra- 
oculars and the supraciliaries forming a complete or incomplete series, or even reduced 
to three; occipital much shorter but sometimes broader than the interparietal ; antero- 
lateral notch of parietal present or absent ) ; anterior supratemporal usually in contact 
with the fourth supraocular ||; temporal scales granular, tympanic shield large, 
masseteric large or moderate; three or four upper labials anterior to the subocular. 
Gular fold feeble or absent ; edge of collar more or less distinctly serrated **. 
Dorsal scales round or oval-hexagonal, smooth or faintly keeled, 30 to 42 correspond- 
ing to the length of the head, 2 or 3 or 5 or 4 to one ventral plate. Anal plate with 
one semicircle of small plates. Scales on upper surface of tibia feebly keeled, smaller 
than dorsals. Caudal scales forming alternately longer and shorter whorls, diagonal, 
more or less strongly keeled, truncate or obtusely pointed behind, 26 to 30 in the 
fourth whorl behind the postanal granules. 
Brownish or olive above, with paired series of blackish spots, which are crowded on 
a dark lateral band extending from the temple to the root of the tail; above and 
below this, a light streak is usually present, the upper of great width in the specimen 
from Mt. Fatguss ; lower parts white or greenish, in spirit ; a series of small blue spots 
on the outer row of ventrals. 
* T have specimens of the typical Z. muralis from Genoa in which the caudal scales are nearly as pointed 
as in the author’s text-fig. ¢. 
+ Forming a narrow suture with the frontonasal in the specimen from Dariel Gorge.

|| Not so in the specimen from the Dariel Gorge. 
€ Rather large in the specimen from Armenia. 
** Very feebly in one of the specimens from Mleti. Tho other specimen is here figured (P]. XXIII. fig. 3).
