to the close resemblance between other Ligurian specimens of the var. brueggemanni 

 and the var. quadrilineata, which, as we now know, was confounded with the typical 

 form (L. muralis fusca) by no less an authority than Bedriaga. 



Var. CAMPESTKIS. 



Lizards of this variety, undistinguishable from individuals from Northern and Middle 

 Italy, described above, p. 390, occur in Corsica, in Elba \ and in Montecristo. 



Lorenz Miiller 2 , who confounds the var. campestris with L. serpa, says they are found 

 in the grassy ditches along the roads near Bastia, whilst the walls are occupied by 

 lizards of the var. quadrilineata (genei). At Biguglia near Bastia, among the reed-grass 

 along the coast, he only found the var. campestris. Higher up, in the valleys, it is rare, 

 a few specimens having been captured at Corte (396 m.), Tattone (802 m.), and Vizza- 

 vona (824 m.). 



I append particulars of three specimens, for comparison with the table on p. 393 : —

In the specimen from Elba, as well as in that from Montecristo, the parietal does not 



tonch the upper postocular. The specimen from Corsica has only three upper labials 



anterior to the subocular, on both sides.
