ME. G. A. BOULEXGEE ON THE 



A. Klaptocz has recorded the abundaBce of this lizard in North Albania, in the 

 plain in the neighbourhood of Shkodra, whilst the typical L. muralis alone occurs in 

 the town itself and in the mountains up to 1000 metres altitude. The scales across 

 the body are stated to vary between 40 and 63, the femoral pores between 15 and 25, 

 a range of variation which exceeds that mentioned by me, and fills up the gap between 

 \a.vs. Jiumana and meliselleiisis, so far as these characters are concerned.

The lizard of Lissa, which, as recognised by Dr. Werner, is hardly separable from 

 that of Lagosta, was first regarded as belonging to the group of the L. muralis typica 

 {fusca Bedriaga), but as establishing a connection between it and the li. Jiumana, 

 referred at the time to Bedriaga's neapolitana group. 



I agree that it is nearer to the ^^x. jiumana than to any other, yet as it differs by 

 an average higher number of lamellae under the fourth toe, viz., 25 to 31, usually 28,
