[Plate XIX.] 



A SMALL collection of reptiles made in the district of Betsileo 

 contains several very interesting novelties, among them again 

 a distinct species of Chamceleon, The specific variety of this 

 genns seems to be inexhaustible, and it reminds us in this 

 respect of Anolis, although, fortunately, the species are dis- 

 tinguished by more palpable characters.
