This is tlie only record of the occurrence of this lizard in Egypt. 

 In going through some reptiles in the Cairo Museum I came 

 across one example of this species, but unfortunately there was 

 no information whence it was obtained. As it occurs in Tunisia, 

 it may possibly extend as far east as Alexandria.

Locality unknown. Beyond the fact that the foregoing figure 

 of the species occurs in the ' Description de I'Egypte,' nothing 

 further is known regarding the occurrence of this snake in 

 Egypt. If it is present, it will probably be found in the Delta, 

 possibly in the Maryut district, or between the Suez Canal and 

 the Nile.

The late E. von Miiller has recorded one specimen from Cairo. 

 This species is found in the Sinaitic Peninsula, so there is 

 nothing remarkable in its presence in Lower Egypt.
