Mr John Anderson has received this lizard from Wad 

 Haifa; he says, however, that its southern range in the Nile- 

 valley is unascertained. According to the same author, it is 

 however, found in the Nubian desert. Through these specimens 

 from the desert along the railway between Berber and the A 

 bara, it is evident that the species lives far south. In the sp 

 cimen from "Wadi Haifa there are six very distinct crossband 

 on the upper surface and some light spots on the posterior pa 

 of the back; in the Berber-specimens the white spots are distin 

 on the whole back and the crossbands broken up each into fou 

 square markings, two greater median ones and two smalle 

 laterals. 



All of them have the rostral shield excluded from th 

 nostril corresponding in that case to the Stenodactylus wilkinsonii 

 Gtrey, which is now regarded only as a form of St. elegans. The 

 specimen from Wadi Haifa also agrees with St. tvilkinsonii in 

 having the limbs and toes long and slender, the fore limbs rea 

 ching very distinctly before the nose and the hind ones befor 

 the shoulder. Of the Berber-specimens the small one has limb 

 and feet as the Wadi-Halfaspecimen, the greater however mor 

 corresponding to the typical form in having those shorter anc 

 thicker especially the fingers and toes. Here the fore limb 

 reaches the snout, the hind scarcely the shoulder.
