EAST AFRICAN LIZARDS. 967 



just before dark clinging in a high wind to the swaying wire at 

 a distance of 80 feet from the balcony and 20 feet from the 

 ground. The following morning it finished the remaining 

 10 feet and descended the iron pole. I might say that I mea^ 

 sured the 90 feet very carefully lest I should exaggerate in my 

 enthusiasm for the performance. 



Nematodes from one specimen have been determined doubt- 

 fully as Physaloptera varani Parona, as only females were found.

Two males from Kabete, Kenya Colony. 



Tornier has made hoehnelii a var. of bitceniahis*, and Miss 

 Procter, after examining the two specimens above, writes of 

 hoehnelii: — "This appears to me to be a variety of Ch. hitceniatus 

 Fisch. In C. hitceniatus there is a strong sexual dimorphism of 

 the casque, which ia the $ $ is low, and in the S 6 strongly raised 

 and ci-ested. The two Kabete males do not differ in any essential 

 from males from the Aberdare Mtns., K.C., iu tlie British Museum 

 collection. The gular crest may also be low, or very greatly 

 developed ; likewise the dorsal, which is always arranged with 

 every 2nd or 3rd spine the longest. One specimen of Ch. hoehnelii 

 in the British Museum collection has every 3rd spine remarkably 

 stoutly developed."

In my previous note on this three-horned chameleon I re- 

 marked that only four specimens were available of a large series 

 collected, many of which remained at Nairobi. Shortly after 

 I returned to East Africa, Miss Procter wrote me that a missing 

 jar of reptiles which had been sent to the British Museum during 

 the war had been found in another department. Amongst other 

 things it contained ten of the?e specimens, to which I referred and 

 wanted. Three $ $ were collected on 27. iii. 15 and received 

 the same register number, viz. 3253. One of these (100 mm. 

 long) and the male 3534 have already figured in my notes. 



Miss Procter points out that in only half of the $ $ referred to 

 in my tabulated list are the pra3orbital horns ns long as the 

 rostral, and the additional individuals no\y available contain four
