4. Mabuia septemt^n^iata, Beuss. 



A single half-grown specimen from Koyun Daghi. 



34 scales round the body, dorsals indistinctly tricariuate. As- 

 in one of the Persian specimens in the British Museum (Teheran), 

 the four black dorsal stripes of the typical form are present on 

 the nape, whilst on the back they are broken up into spots. 



5. EUMECES SCHNEIDEEI, Daui. 



Two specimens from Koyun Daghi agree entirely with the 

 typical, widely distributed form, as figured by Anderson in his 

 'Reptiles of Egypt,' pi. xxv. Grreyish olive above, with small 

 orange spots and an orange lateral streak. 28 scales round the 

 middle of the body. The distance between the end of the snout 

 and the fore limb is contained once and four-fifths in the distance 

 between axilla and groin. 



A remarkably large specimen from Vizastra (17 centimetres 

 from snout to vent) is brownish above, without orang^e spots, 

 but with a darker dorsal stripe occupying the two median rows 

 of scales, and a still darker stripe, two scales wide, on each side 

 above a yellow lateral streak which extends from the mouth, 

 througli the ear, to the hind limb. The body is more elongate, 

 the distance between ead of snout and fore limb being contained 

 twice in the distance between axilla and groin ; and there are but 

 24 scales round the body. This lizard approaches the form 

 figured by Greoffroy in the ' Description del'Egypte,' Eept. pi. iii. 

 fig. 3, of which we have a specimen from Jerusalem in the British 

 Museum, and agrees with specimens from Cyprus {Scincus 

 cyprius, Cuv.), Transcaspia, and Per,iia.
