Lacerta. 7'3- 



bright yellowish green, without blue on tlie head ; others (Zorleui, 

 Varna, Khotz) answer pretty well to Bedriaga's description of the 

 var. vaillanti, olive or brown without or with scattered black dots 

 on the back, closely speckled with black on the sides. In the 

 specimens from Khotz, near Trebizond. the lower parts are dotted 

 with black — scantily in the female, more profusely in the male— and 

 their coloration suggests certain examples of L: agilis.
