In the 'Catalogue of Lizards' (iii. p. 13) a variety of 

 L. ocellata is described {vslY. pater), inhabiting Algeria and 

 Tunis, and characterized by having the dorsal scales more 

 distinctly keeled and the occipital shield smaller, viz. as broad 

 as or a little narrower than the frontal. The number of 

 scales across the middle of the body and the number of 

 femoral pores seem to be mostly a little larger. Boulenger 

 says respectingit: — "In some Spanish specimens the occipital 

 is quite of the same size as in ' L. pater,' and also the 

 other characters given as distinctive are by no means constant ; 

 therefore the Algero-Tunisian form can, in my opinion, 

 not be specifically separated from the European.^' — In the 

 specimens (from Algeria) in the collections these characters 

 vary considerably 

 the var. pater from the European form.
