A. Klaptocz has recorded the abundance of this lizard in North 

 Albania, in the plain in the nei^^hbourhood of Shkodra, whilst the 

 typical L. niundisdAmw. occurs in the town itself and in the naountains 

 up to lUOO metres altitude. The scales across the body are stated to 

 vary between 40 and 63, the femoral pores between 15 and 25 — arana^e 

 of variation which exceeds that mentioned by me, and fills up the gap 

 between the vars. fiuinana and nielisellensis, so far as these characters 

 are concerned. 



In Herzegovina this lizard occurs up to 1200 metres.

The lizard of Lissa, which, as recognised by AVerner, is hardly 

 separable from that of Lagosta, was first regarded as belonging to the 

 group of the L. mitraZis typica (fusca, Bedriaga), but as establishing a 

 connexion tetween it and the L. fiumana, referred at the time to 

 Bedriagas neapolitana group. 



I agree that it is nearer to the \a,r. fiumana than to any other, yet 

 as it differs by an average higher number of lamellae under the fourth 

 toe, viz. 24 to 31, usually 28, instead of 22 to 29, usually 24 to 26, as 

 well as by an average somewhat larger size, I think it may perhaps be
