VAEIETIES OF THE WALL-LIZAED. 



171 



form A, are in the British Museum. Males from Fiume, types from Dr. Werner's 

 Collection, have the belly dotted all over with black. A blue, black-edged ocellus 

 is sometimes present above the shoulder. 



C. Uniform green, dark green, or reddish-brown specimens without any markings 

 (var. imitans Werner), similar in this respect to the individuals of Italian varieties 

 named var. olivacea, but with the throat and breast, or the whole of the lower parts, 

 orange or red in the males at least, occur in Istria, Dalmatia, and Herzegovina, and 

 on the islands of Lussin, Cherso, Veglia, Bua, Solta, Lesina, Brazza, and Meleda. 

 Some individuals, however, show more or less distinct traces of the light dorso-lateral 

 streak, whilst others with a few black spots on the sides establish the connection with 

 the colour-variations described above. Some male specimens from Istria, which I 

 received alive, were of a bright grass-green on the back, of a golden colour on the 

 head, sides, and limbs, and of a bright orange beneath (PI. XIX. fig. 5).
