Lacertidas. 



are more or less confluent into a longitudinal streak from the shoulder 

 to the root of the hind limb ; head and neck as in the preceding 

 (I.e., fig. 6). 



A half-grown male from Eustenburg, Transvaal, is similar to the 

 preceding, but the white eyes of the ocelli on the nape are in the 

 form of longitudinal lines, whilst the black borders of the ocelli 

 run together to form cross-bands on the back, as is frequent in 

 JV^. delalandii, from the young of which it is hardly to be distinguished, 

 so far as the coloration is concerned.

 intertexta, differ from the type in the back being striated throughout life.
