664 Mll.A. LOVEllIUaE: NOTES ON 



from chin to anal shield against Tornier's 118-120. Mine^ 

 measured 82 + 30 and his 71 + 4L 



Coloration is uniform plumbeous above and below, whilst 

 Toniier's description reads " Black-brown scales, little liglit 

 borders," and his second specimen " Ventral and back scales 

 black with Avhito borders, back pale olive, two long rows of black 

 spots close together near middle line " (rough translation). 



The Mkata specimen is a female with two egg^ measuring 

 9x4 mm. 



Tornier's types are from Kerogwe and Masai-land, roughly 

 from 100 to 200 miles farther north. I do not know of any 

 other record of this intei-esting worm-like skink, 



AcoNTiAS MEi.EAGiiis Oray. 



Blgr, Cat. Liz. iii. 1887, p. 427. 



As no Acontias has been recorded from East Africa farther 

 north than Mozambique, I take this opportunity of drawing 

 attention to a series of this limbless South African skink which 

 were collected at Voi, Kenya Colony, by Capt. A. B. Percival, 

 and which are now in the Museum of the Kenya and Uganda 

 Natural History Society. 



They difler considerably in the matter of colouring, being 

 slaty-black above and pure white beneath in the half-grown ; 

 plumbeous above and slightly dusky beneath in the young. Not 

 ao-reeing with the colour description given in the Catalogue. 



Two specimens brought home for comparison measure 210-f-24 

 and 146+19 mm. respectively. 



ClIAMiEIiEONTIDiE. 

 CflAMiELEON SENEGALENSIS Daud. 



Blgr. Cat. Liz. iii. 1887, p. 447. 

 A single female from Kabare, Bukoba, 26, xii. 22, measures 

 6^ inches (92 +66). 



Chameleon pauvilobus Blgr. 

 Blgr. Cat. Liz. iii. 1887, p. 449. 



Two males and a young one from Kilosa, Qwao's, and Sagayo. 

 The last two found on bushes in the vicinity of rocky granite 

 kopjes. 



■The larger male measured 7 inches (95 + 80), the smaller 

 83 + 80; the distance between the end of the casque and com- 

 missure of mouth is 20 mm. and length of mouth 18 mm. These 

 examples were a rich dark green in life. Stomach contents— a 

 grasshopper. 



What appeared to be one of this species was found in the 

 stomach of a mungoose (//. g. lademanni) shot at Mbulu's near 

 Gwao's. The Kilosa Chameleon was killed by a young lemur 

 ((?. pangdnensis) confined in the same large cage.
