Habitat. — Steppes of Eastern Asia Minor, from EsM-Shihir to 

 Kaisarieh, up to 1800 m. in the Erdshias Dagh, according to Stein- 

 dachner. I am indebted to M. H. Gadeau de Kerville for the privilege 

 of examining a good series of specimens obtained by him in the district 

 of Angora, where this lizard occurs together with the far commoner 

 Ophiops elegans, some individuals of which are strikingly sim^ar to 

 Lacerta parva in their proportions, coloration, and general appearance. 

 The species is also reported from Transcaucasia (district of L. 

 Grokcha), but the identification of the specimens perhaps requires 

 confirmation.
