"mth a Revision of the Species of' Chameleons. 211 



found in specimens preserved in spirits, that the sole is slightly 

 produced behind. Seba, i. t. 82. f. 1. and f. 3. appear to have 

 been drawn fi'om specimens in spirits, while f. 2. is evidently 

 the same kind of animal which had been dried. The figure of 

 Seba, i. t. 8.S. f. 4. is the most doubtful ; but the figure is dif- 

 ficult to understand, and it certainly more resembles this species 

 than any that I am acquainted with. The Chameleon can- 

 didus of Laurenti, is only a bleached specimen. The Chame- 

 leon trapii of Geoffroy I only know by the figure, which 

 differs from my specimens in some particulars, and resem- 

 bles C. dilepis, but the scales of the head appear rough, and 

 the lobes on the side of the face are not large enough for that 

 animal. None of these figures give any idea of the animal in its 

 living and healthy state, when all the angles of the ridges appear 

 by the drawing which I have seen of them to be abolished.
