 Habitat. — Tlie type specimens of this species are from Kalabagh in 

 the Punjab and Tumb Island in the Persian Gulf. The lizard has 

 since been found in Persia near Bushire, in Mesopotamia, and in Syria 

 (Coslesyria Valley, Palmyra, Jerud), and I refer to the same species 

 one of Blanford's Mesalina pardalis from Dasht, Baluchistan. The 

 area of distribution, though a broken one in the present state of our 

 knowledge, thus extends from Syria to the Punjab.
