On Reptiles and Batrachians from Cyprus, 505 



LXV. — Second List of Reptiles and Batrachians from Cyprus. 

 By G. A. BOULENGER *. 



A SECOND collection of Reptiles made in Cyprus by Dr. 

 Guillemard on behalf of Lord Lilford contains examples of 

 the following species not previously recorded by Dr. Giinther 

 or by myself. Clemmys caspica is apparently recorded from 

 Cyprus for the first time . 



1. Clemmys caspica^ var. rivulata, Val. 



2. Oymnodactylus Kotschyi, Stdr. 



3. Hemidactyhis turcicus, L. 



4. Mahuia vittata^ Oliv. 



5. Ahlepharus pannonicuSj Fitz. 



6. Biifo viridis^ Laur. 



The collection also contains large series of Acanthodactylus 

 Sclireiheri^ Blgr., showing the characters upon which the 

 species was founded to be constant, and of Ophiops Schlueteri^ 

 Bttg. I now regard the latter form as merely a variety of 

 0. elegans^ Men., the characters upon which it was based not 

 being sufficiently constant. Having counted the scales round 

 the middle of the body (ventrals included) and the femoral 

 pores (on each side) in 100 specimens, I find the numbers 

 vary as follows : — Scales : 1 specimen with 49, 3 with 48, 2 

 with 47, 10 with 46, 11 with 45, 21 with 44, 8 with 43, 16 

 with 42, 10 with 41, 13 with 40, 3 with 39, 2 with 38. 

 Pores : twice 16, 8 times 15, 23 times 14, 79 times 13, 59 

 times 12, 25 times 11, 4 times 10. 



The following is a complete list of the Reptiles and Ba- 

 trachians hitherto found in Cyprus. Species (from linger 

 and Kotscliy's list, published in 1865) as to the occurrence 

 of which some doubts exist are queried. B. M. signifies 

 that specimens from Cyprus are in the British Museum. 



Chelonia. 



1. Clemmys caspica, var. rivulata, Val. B. M.
