Lacerta. 



7S- 



bright yellowish green, without blue on the head ; others (Zorleni, 

 Varna, Khotz) answer pretty well to Bedriaga's description of the 

 var. vwillanti, olive or brown without or with scattered black dots 

 on the back, closely speckled with black on the sides. In the 

 specimens from Khotz, near Trebizond, the lower parts are dotted 

 with black — scantily in the female, more profusely in the male — and 

 their coloration suggests certain examples of L. agilis. 

 Measurements (in millimetres) : 



A young at birth (mother from Jersey, kept by Mr. E. Britten) 

 measures 26 millim. from snout to vent, tail 27. According to 

 Eollinat (I.e., p. 28) the new-born measures 31 to 34 millim. to vent, 

 tail 39 to 52. A specimen three years old has a total length of 

 260 millim. and is able to breed. 



Particulars of Specimens Examined.
