is sometimes regenerated black or blackish, but more often brown 

 above and whitish beneath. 



Accordinijr to Scherer, the young do not differ in colour from the 

 lizards of Lissa. 



Specimens from the Scoglio Kamik, west of St. Andrea, near Lissa, 

 have been named by Werner var. galvagnii They differ from the 

 Melisello lizards in the absence of blue on the sides of the belly, being 

 uniform black or blackish. By their heavy form and thick tail they 

 remind one of the var. Ulfordi melanos, but the scaling is the same as 

 in var. melisellensis, as the following tabulation of the two type- 

 specimens shows :

In both specimens the occipital is small and separated from the 

 interparietal ; in the larger the masseteric disc is small on one side 

 and absent on the other. 



The black lizard from St. Andrea is alluded to further on, under 

 the var. albiventris, from which it is perhaps derived.

* Whilst holding Bonaparte's P. siculus to be a strict synonym of L. serpa of 

 Rafinesque, I am in doubt whether to refer the latter aiithor's L. sicula to 

 L. viridis or to L. muralis, var. tiliguerta. The length of Eafinesque's L. sicula, 

 viz. 10 French inches = 270 millim., seems to exclude the present form, which 

 is not known to exceed 220 millim.
