Zara. 



I have little to add to the description given of this variety from Italian specimens*. 

 I will only observe that the scales on the flanks may be a little larger than the dorso- 

 laterals, that minute scales may be present behind the anal plate f, as described by 

 Mehely in L. anatolica and L. danfordi, and record the following exceptions to the 

 normal lepidosis : — Two postnasals on. one side in a d from Zara ; series of granules 

 between the supraoculars and the supraciliaries complete in three specimens (Grado, 

 Zara), sometimes reduced to 3 or 4 (Sansego, Zara) ; masseteric disk sometimes 

 very small or indistinct (Sansego) ; anterior temporal in contact with fourth suprei- 

 ocular in three specimens from Sansego J (PI. XX. fig. 5). 



As regards coloration, some specimens conform strictly to the description of De Betta, 

 others approach very closely the specimen of var. serpa from Pompeii figured by me §, 



« Tr. 1905, p. 390. 



t One <S from Pola, one 5 from Zara. 



X I have givea a figure of one of these three specimens in Ann. & Mag. N. H. (8) v. 1910, p. 250. This 

 Mehely regards as an abnormal specimen, " deasen Supratemporalsehild keine Bedeutung beigemesseu werdeu 

 kann. Ich bin iiberzeugt, das sieh Herr Bouleiiger lange bemiihen miisste, um noch ein Stiiok mit iibnlicher 

 Pholidose zu finden " (Ann. Mus. Hung. viii. 1910, p. 227).
