Total length 200 millim. 
A single specimen. 
BARILIUS GUENTHERI, sp. n. (Plate XLVII.) 
Depth of body 43 to 42 in total length, length of head 4 to 43. 
Snout 13 to 2 times as long as the diameter of the eye, which is 
5 to 6 times in length of head, and 2 to 23 in interorbital width ; 
preorbital not much smaller than the eye; premaxillary extending 
to below centre of eye. Gill-rakers very short, rudimentary, 8 or 9 
on lower part of anterior arch. Dorsal I 10, not quite twice as 
distant from the end of the snout as from the base of the caudal

3. On the Lizards of the Genus Eremias, Section Boulengeria. 
By G. A. Bou.encer, F.R.S. 
[Received October 9, 1896.] 
Since the publication of F. Lataste’s paper in the ‘ Annali’ of 
the Genoa Museum, in 1885—in which he did me the honour of 
connecting my name with a division of the large genus Hremias, 
characterized by a divided lower nasal shield, ventral shields in 
straight series, and strongly compressed toes—our acquaintance 
with these Lizards has made very great progress. 
The numerous collections made within the last few years by 
Révoil, Ragazzi, Robecchi, Ruspoli, Bottego, Donaldson Smith, 
and Lort Phillips in Abyssinia, Somaliland, and Gallaland, the head- 
quarters of the group, have added greatly to our knowledge of them, 
not only in showing the doubtful species and variety previously 
described, and which I had placed in the synonymy of Eremias 
brennert, Peters, to be entitled to specific rank, but in bringing to 
light two more species, thus raising their number to five. Having 
lately received, through the kindness of the Marquis Doria and 
Dr. Gestro, large numbers of these Lizards, I have availed myself 
of the opportunity to recast detailed descriptions of all the species. 
The whole of the material I have worked from is either in the British 
Museum (specimens marked *) or in the Museo Civico of Genoa.
