16 L. G. ANDERSSON, CATAL. OF LINNEAN TYPE-SPECIMEES OF REPTILIA. 



Mahuia homalocephala (Wiegm.), which thus must be called 

 Mabuia punctata (L.). As there is before a species called 

 Mahuia punrAata Gray, this must be named Mahuia macu- 

 lata Grai% if we want to maintain the Linnean name, aecor- 

 ding to the synonymy in Boul. Cat. Liz. III p. 160. 



Total length 175 mm.; length of the body (to the vent) 80 mm.

Lacerta lineata. 



Linnfeus in 3fiis. Ad. Frid. /., p. 46; Syst. Nat. Ed. X, p. 209. 

 Ed. XII. p. 371. (Named Lacerta quadri lineata); Syn. in Boul. Cat. 

 Liz. II, p. 427, Gymnophthalmu^ qnadrilineatiis (L). 



In the tentli edition of Systema Naturm Linnaeus main- 

 tains the name lineata, but ch anges it to quadrilineata in the 

 twelfth edition, under which name we find a jar from Mus. 

 Drottnh., containing ten specimens. In Quensels catalogue 

 only six are recorded, possibly four might have been added af- 

 terwards, or else Quensel has given the wrong number.^ All 

 the specimens are true Gymnophthalmus quadrilineatus (L.). 

 As, however, Linn8eus's name lineata is used also in the tenth 

 edition of Syst. nat., this name must be retained, and the 

 species be named Gymnophthalmus lineatus (L.). 



The total lengths o£ the specimens are: 



In one af the groups 60, 66, 79, 81, 83, 91 mm. and in the 

 other 67, 70, 73, 75 mm. 



Lacerta lemniscata. 



Linnfeus in Mus. Ad. Frid. /, p. 47; Syst. Nat. Ed. X. p. 209. 



From Mus. Ad. Frid. there are two jars, containing three 

 specimens (2 ef, 1 $) and marked »Lacerta lemniscata^ on the 

 usual Drottningholm label. The same number is also stated 

 by Quensel, as belonging to these collections. They are true 

 Cnemidophorus lemniscatus (Daud.) (See Boul. Cat. Liz. II, 

 p. 363). It seems vevj stränge that neither Duméril & Bi- 

 bron nor Boulenger mention Linnseus as auctor of the name 

 >->lemniscatus» but Daudin, though Daudin refers to Linnseus 



'■ The specimens are strung on two horse hairs, four on one and six on 

 the other. Swartz mentions in his catalogue onlv four specimens all from 

 Mus. Drottnh.. therefore it is possihle that these two groups might before 

 have been preserved in diflferent jars, and then Quensel recorded one and 

 Swartz the other.
