684 ON A NEW LIZARD FROM THE CANARY ISLANDS. 
L. galloti D. B., from which it differs to the same extent as 
LL. simonyi Steind., from the “ Roques del Zalmore,” near Hierro, 
but in an opposite direction. 
' It differs from JZ. galloti in its smaller size, in its broader 
occipital shield, in the downward extension of the parietal shields, 
in fewer longitudinal rows of ventral shields (10-12, instead of 
12-14), in the higher number of dorsal scales (90-110, instead of 
80-98), in the more primitive pattern of coloration, as well as in 
the feeble degree of secondary sexual differentiation. 
In my opinion it represents the most primitive type of the 
L. galloti group.
