  Chalcides 
  lineatus,

  The 
  Algerian 
  " 
  Seps 
  " 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  Italian 
  species 
  G. 
  

   tridactylus, 
  it 
  is 
  interesting 
  to 
  find 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  Tangier 
  to 
  be 
  

   referable 
  to 
  the 
  Western 
  species 
  G. 
  lineatus, 
  previously 
  

   known 
  only 
  from 
  the 
  South 
  of 
  France 
  and 
  the 
  Spanish 
  

   peninsula. 
  The 
  three 
  specimens 
  sent 
  by 
  M. 
  Vaucher 
  present 
  

   the 
  following 
  characters 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  A. 
  Hind 
  limb 
  contained 
  15 
  times 
  in 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  head 
  and 
  body 
  

  

  (from 
  snout 
  to 
  vent 
  135 
  millim. 
  ; 
  hind 
  limb 
  9). 
  24 
  scales 
  round 
  

   the 
  body. 
  9 
  dark 
  streaks 
  along 
  the 
  back, 
  as 
  broad 
  as 
  the 
  inter- 
  

   spaces 
  between 
  them. 
  

  

  B. 
  Hind 
  limb 
  contained 
  15 
  times 
  in 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  head 
  and 
  body 
  

  

  (from 
  snout 
  to 
  vent 
  120 
  millim. 
  ; 
  hind 
  limb 
  8). 
  24 
  scales 
  round 
  

   the 
  body. 
  Uniform 
  bronzy 
  olive. 
  

  

  C. 
  Hind 
  limb 
  contained 
  14 
  times 
  in 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  head 
  and 
  body 
  

  

  (from 
  snout 
  to 
  vent 
  97 
  millim. 
  ; 
  hind 
  limb 
  7). 
  24 
  scales 
  round 
  

   the 
  body. 
  Uniform 
  bronzy 
  olive. 
  

  

  In 
  two 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  the 
  hind 
  limb 
  is 
  thus 
  seen 
  to 
  be 
  

   slightly 
  shorter 
  than 
  in 
  any 
  European 
  example 
  which 
  has 
  yet 
  

   come 
  under 
  my 
  notice 
  ; 
  in 
  these 
  its 
  length 
  is 
  comprised 
  from 
  

   12 
  to 
  14 
  times 
  in 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  head 
  and 
  body. 
  These 
  

   Moroccan 
  specimens 
  also 
  differ 
  from 
  the 
  European, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  

   from 
  C. 
  tridactylus, 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  ear-opening 
  somewhat 
  

   larger.

  A 
  single 
  specimen, 
  otherwise 
  typical, 
  is 
  of 
  particular 
  interest 
  

   from 
  the 
  feet 
  being 
  penta- 
  instead 
  of 
  tetradactyle. 
  The 
  fifth 
  

   toe 
  is, 
  it 
  is 
  true, 
  short 
  and 
  claw 
  less, 
  but 
  nevertheless 
  per- 
  

   fectly 
  distinct.

  Two

  the 
  Benider 
  Hills, 
  one 
  of 
  which 
  has 
  

   been 
  kindly 
  compared
