A female from the Belaja R. (affluent of Kuban R.) in Ciscaucasia (PL XXII. 

 fig. 4), agrees well with the diagnosis given by Eversmann [L. supra latitudine capitis 

 prasina, nigromaculata, laterihus hrunnea, nigro-maculata, subtus margaritacea versui< 

 latera ccerulescens, rostro acuto, capite depresso ; cauda longissima, scutellis argute 

 carinatis annulata), and also with the figure which accompanies his description. I 

 have, therefore, no doubt as to the correctness of the identification. 



A specimen from the South Coast of the Crimea, received alive from Mr. A. Brauner, 

 and which agrees in all essential points with the above, was grass-green above, blackish 

 brown on the sides ; head, limbs, and tail golden brown ; turquoise-blue spots above 

 the axil and on the outer ventral shields ; pinkish white beneath. A similar specimen 

 from the Crimea is figured on PI. XXII. fig. 3. 



I append particulars of these specimens, and of others which I regard as pertaining 

 to the same variety : —
