1. Length (in millimetres) from snout to vent. 2. Number of scales across middle of body. 
3. Transverse series of ventral plates. 4. Number of plates in collar. 5. Number of scales and 
granules between symphysis of chin-shields and median collar-plates. 6. Number of femoral 
pores (on right and left sides, if differing). 7. Number of supraciliary shields in contact with 
second supraocular. 
In the female from Ferriere (Pl. XXV. fig. 2) and in the young male from Genoa 
the snout is as short and as obtuse as in Z. horvathi Méhely; but this is also the case 
in a few specimens from France. 
The dorsal scales are distinctly keeled, and 37 to 50 transverse series correspond to 
the length of the head. The nasals usually form a very short median suture in the 
Turin specimens, but 3 out of 13 have the rostral forming a suture with the 
frontonasal!. ‘Two specimens from Turin have 5 upper labials anterior to the sub- 
ocular, and one from Portofino has only three on one side. 22 to 29 lamellar scales 
under the fourth toe.

Professor Monticelli nas been so kind as to send me for examination all the 
specimens of Lacerta muralis preserved in the Zoological Institute of the Naples 
1 Also in single specimens from Domo d’Cssola, Lanzo Valley, and Florence. Separation of the nasals 
appeurs to be found in at least 20 per cent. of the specimens from south of the Alps.
