XIX. — On the Sand-Viper of Roumania (Vipera ammodytes, 

 var. Montandoni). By G. A. Boulenger, F.R.S. 



When recently discussing the geographical variations of 

 Vipera ammodytes *, I pointed out that tlie Roumanian 

 specimens, two in number, which I had been able to examine 

 agreed neither with the typical form from Austria-Hungary, 

 Dalmatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro, nor with the var. meridio- 

 nalis from Greece and Syria. Having now received five 

 further specimens from Roumania, through my valued 

 correspondent M. A. Montandon, and finding them to agree 

 in essential characters with the two previously noticed, I 

 have no hesitation in regarding them as representing a third 

 form, for which I propose the name var. Montandoni. 



The following table shows the principal variations in the 

 lepidosis of the seven specimens available : —
