Eremias brenneri. 
Head once and two-thirds to twice as long as broad. Upper 
head-shields closely and finely striated; frontonasal as long as 
broad or longer than broad ; anterior supraocular not bordered with 
granules ; interparietal small, in one specimen divided into three, 
separated from the very.small occipital by another small shield ; 
an elongate shield on the outer border of the parietals; temporal 
scales granular, keeled ; subocular not reaching the lip, wedged in 
between the sixth and seventh upper labials; the two or three 
anterior pairs of chin-shields in contact. Collar with 7 to 9 
shields. Dorsal scales rhomboidal, juxtaposed or subimbricate, 
keeled, some even tricarinate, 65 to 68 across the middle of the 
body. Six longitudinal series of ventral plates, with a rudimentary 
outer series ; 25 to 27 transverse series. A more or less enlarged 
median preanal. The hind limb reaches the eye or the nostril; 
foot as long as the distance between the arm and the end of the 
snout; scales on the limbs strongly pluricarinate. 20 to 22 
femoral pores on each side (23 or 24 in the types of Z. edwardsit). 
Tail twice to twice and a half as long as head and body; upper 
caudal scales strongly keeled and striated. 
In the immature specimen (Obbia-Berbera), examined by me in 
1891, the coloration resembles strikingly that of the young 
Acunthodactylus boskianus. Six reddish-white lines along the 
body, separated by broader black interspaces or stripes, along each 
60*
