22 Lacertidse. 



B. 6 whitish streaks on the nape and 5 on the back ; sides with 3 

 longitudinal series of roundish white spots. — Port Elizabeth. 



c. (i?. holubi, Stdr., I.e., lower figure.) 3 white dorsal streaks 

 separated by broader black or dark brown interspaces, and 2 

 (sometimes broken up into spots) along each side ; the white 

 vertebral streak continued for a short distance on the tail, which 

 bears 3 dark longitudinal streaks ; the outer dorsal light streak 

 extends on the parietal shield, where it joins the light supraorbital 

 border. — Limpopo Valley,. Transvaal (Steiudachner) ; Rustenburg, 

 Transvaal; Vredefort Eoad, Orange E. Colony; Kimberley, Burghers- 

 dorp, Cape Colony. (L.c, fig. 2.) 



D. {E. holubi, Stdr., I.e., upper figure.) Back reddish brown with 

 three dark-edged light streaks ; a broad dark brown or black lateral 

 band, from the temple to above the hind limb, bearing one, two, or 

 three series of roundish white spots, and edged below by a white 

 streak which may be broken up into spots. — Limpopo Valley 

 (Steindachner) ; Zoutspansberg, Transvaal ; Leydenburg, Transvaal ; 

 Vredefort Eoad, Orange E. Colony ; Plumtree ; Bulawayo ; Port 

 Elizabeth. (L.c, fig. 8.) 



E. As in the preceding, but temple and side of neck with black 

 and white vertical bars. — TJmfolosi E., Natal ; Pretoria ; Bindura, 

 S. Ehodesia. (L.c, fig. 4.) 



F. The black and white vertical bars are continued, more or less 

 distinct, on the flanks. — TJmfolosi E. (L.c, fig. 5.) 



G. Back reddish brown with black dots and mere traces of the three 

 light streaks ; a blackish lateral band with very numerous small 

 round white spots; sides of head with black and white vertical 

 bars ; tail with numerous small dark and light spots. — Lake Nyassa. 

 (T.c, pi. vi, fig. 10.) This form appears to represent Bedriaga's 

 L. cameranoi, from Tette, Mozambique, but the fingers are not quite 

 so short,* the^ figure accompanying the description showing them to 

 be very similar to those of N. delalandii. 



H. As in F, but without the light vertebral streak, and with black 

 dots on the back and on the sides of the belly. — TJmfolosi E. 



I. As in B, but no light vertebral streak, and the light dorso-lateral 

 streak ending midway between the fore and hind limbs ; black dots 

 on the sides of the belly. This variation forms a complete connexion 

 with the typical N. intertexta, the only difference being that the light 

 ocellar spots on the nape and anterior part of the back have fused to 

 form a dark-edged lateral streak.— De Kaap Goldfields, Transvaal. 

 (T.c, pi. vi, fig. 9.)
