The types of this species are from Karabagh in the Punjab and Turn 

 Island in the Persian Gulf. The lizard has since been found in Persia 

 near Bushire and in Syria {E. hernouUii, Schenkel), and I refer to the same 

 species one of the specimens from Dasht in Baluchistan included by Blan- 

 ford under his Mesalina pardalis.

The rauge of this lizard extends from Constantinople and Tripoli to 

 N.-W. India. The var. mizolepis was originally described from the low coun- 

 try. S.W. of Karabagh, on the Indus, and was found at Basra by Blan- 

 ford; specimens from Haifa in Palestine also appear to be referable to it.
