44 THE EEPTILES OF EGYPT. 
the Dead Sea (Tristram), in Arabia Petrsea (Frankfort Museum), and the Sinai tic 
Peninsula (Hart). 
In Plate IV. I have figured some of the more marked phases of this lizard in the 
region with which this work deals. Figure 1 represents the Gizeh lizards ; figs. 2 & 3 
are specimens from Luxor ; fig. 4 from Tel el Amarna ; fig. 5 from Ramleh, on the 
sea-face of the delta ; and fig. 6 from Durrur. To these I am enabled to add the 
following figure of the specimen collected by Dr. Donaldson Smith on the shores of 
Lake Rudolf, Mr. Boulenger having kindly placed the specimen at my disposal for 
this purpose. 
Eig. 3.

Stenodactylus elegans, Eitz. 
Lake Rudolf. (Genoa Museum.) 
A comparison of the foregoing figure with fig. 2, PI. IV., will bring out their close 
resemblance — indeed practical identity, — the only difference between them being that 
the Lake Rudolf specimen has a smaller head, as has been pointed out by 
Mr. Boulenger. 
Dr. Walter Innes informs me that the Arabs have only one name for lizards of the 
genera Stenodactylus and Tropiocolotes, viz. ^^iol (_/y = bors abyad, or white bors ; 
but, according to my experience, the term abyad is seldom used.
