138 ME. G. A. BOULENGEE ON THE 



Among Ms specimens from Modling, Baden, Voslau, Reichenau, and Miesenbach, not 

 one is without at least an indication of it, whilst he could not find such a thing in any 

 of his Wall-Lizards from various other parts of Europe. 



Dr. Werner has been so kind as to send me living specimens from Baden and 

 Voslau, particulars of which are given in the following tabulation, along with the 

 specimens preserved in his private collection (W.) which he has allowed me to 

 examine.

1. Length (in millimetres) from snout to vent. 2. Number o£ scales across middle of body. 

 3. Transverse series of ventral plates. 4. Number of plates in collar. 5. Number of scales and 

 granules between symphysis of chin-shields and median collar-plate. 6. Number of femoral pores 

 (on right and left sides, if differing). 7. Number of lamellar scales under the fourth toe. — 

 The same notation is followed throughout in this paper. 



The division of the parietal is complete on both sides in 3 specimens, complete on 

 one side and incomplete on the other in 6, incomplete in the rest. The anterior 

 supraocular is absent in the specimen from Reichenau. One of the specimens from 

 Voslau has two postnasals, and in another from the same locality (PI. XVI. fig. 4J 

 the parietal does not touch the upper postocular *. One of the specimens from Baden 

 has only three anterior upper labials. In all of them the second supraocular is in 

 contact with the supraciliaries. 



* In my previous contribution I have carefully recorded such exceptions to the rule on account of 

 Prof. Mehely's statement (Ann. Mus. Hung. ii. 1904, p. 363, footnote), " Ich habe z. B. viele hunderte von 

 sehr verschiedenen Fundorten herstammende Esemplare der Laeerta muralis, L. vivi_para und L. taurica 

 unteraucht und niemals ein Exemplar angetroffen, bei dem das erste Postoculare [upper postocular] nicht an 

 das Parietale angestossen hatte." Now, it is very remarkable that when I examine scores instead of 

 hundreds of specimens of the typical form, I come upon such exceptional specimens. I have previously 

 mentioned six from Prance (Tr. 1905, p. 354), I now add one from Austria, and further on I record 

 another from France and 23 from Spain, which makes 31 exceptions out of about 260 specimens, or 

 12 per cent.
