Habitat. — Steppes of Eastern Asia Minor, from Eski-Shihir to 

 Kaisarieli, up to 1800 m. in the Erdshias Dagh, according to Stein- 

 dachner. I am indebted to M. H. Gradeau de Kerville for the privilege 

 of examining a good series of specimens obtained by him in the district 

 of Angora, "where this lizard occurs together Avith the far commoner 

 Ophiops elegans, some individuals of which are strikingly similar to 

 Lacerta parva in their proportions, coloration, and general appearance. 

 The species is also reported from Transcaucasia (district of L. 

 Grokcha), but the identification of the specimens perhaps requires 

 confirmation.
