Lukenya. Body 41 mm., tail 45 mm. Color same as in above 

 specimen. 



Chamseleon jacksoni Boulenger. 



Lukenya Province. The collection contains 8 females and 7 males 

 from this place. The males are easily distinguished by having the 

 rostral and two occipital horns of about equal length. These cephalic 

 projections on the female are short, the occipital ones are usually 

 very short, in these specimens never more than half the length of 

 the rostral horn, which is shown in the following measurements: 



The three largest females contained no eggs or young, but in the 

 remaining ones eggs were present. The eggs are spherical and are 

 connected in a string resembling a string of beads. The diameter 

 of the eggs in a female 91 mm. in diameter, which contained 18 eggs, 

 is 8 mm. The eggs of this species are smaller than are those of C. 

 dilepis, which are oval-shaped but which form a similar string along 

 the line of the greater axis. 



Cham£eleon hoehneli Steindachner. 



Voi. Three specimens, 84 mm., 73 mm., and 72 mm. The two 

 smaller ones gravid, with the embryos each enclosed in a thin mem- 

 branous sack; body of embryos 2 mm. in length. 



Kijabe. Two specimens, 89 mm., and 87 mm. 



Lukenya. Four specimens, 65 mm., 62 mm., 38 mm., 27 mm. 



The largest specimen contained 7 eggs, each 8.5 mm. in diameter. 

 Eggs nearly spherical and connected, appearing like a string of beads. 

 In each eg^g the outline of the embryos was formed. 



Mt. Kenya. Two specimens, 82 mm. and 73 mm. 



Molo. Six specimens, 80 mm. to 90 mm. in length. These con- 

 tained no eggs. Two other individuals, 66 mm. and 75 mm., con- 

 tained eggs with quite well developed embryos. The larger individual 

 contained 9 eggs, each of which was less than half absorbed by the 

 embryo. The embr^'os in the smaller specimen were less developed. 

 The eggs are nearly spherical, each about 9 mm. in diameter.
