According to QuenseFs and Swartz's catalogues there 

 ougtt to be in the museum two Drottningholm specimens of 

 this lizard. From the old collections we find also a jar 

 containing two specimens of this form, though it is either 

 marked with the Drottningholm label or by Quensel. It is 

 signed >->Uromasfyx azureus Cuv. M. Lacerta azurea Linn.^ by 

 Dalman, who was Director of the museum of the Royal Aca- 

 demy of Science from 1819 to 1828, during which time he 

 catalogued and labeled its amphibia, following the system of 

 Merrem, which just then appeared in print. Neither are 

 more than two specimens of this easily recognizable species 

 recorded in his catalogue, and it is clear that these are the 

 same that Quensel mentions as belonging to Mus. Drottnh. 

 I thus consider these lizards as Linn£eus's types. They are 

 true Urocentron azureum (L.) Kaup. 



Total length 114 mm.; length of the body (to the vent) 71 mm.

In the museum there are kept three jars, containing 

 three specimens, named Lacerta agilis and marked with the 

 usual Drottningholm label, though Quensel and Swartz in 

 their catalogues only record one specimen as belonging to 

 the Drottningholm collections, but they might have been 

 mistaken, as the two other specimens Quensel mentions now 

 are also to be found in the museum.
