1^0 Lacertidse. 



c. (Island on Lake Horns.) Brown above, with small black spots, 

 with three white dorsal streaks, the median from the occiput, the 

 dorso-laterals from the superciliary border ; the space between the 

 dor so -laterals and the lateral streak black, with round white spots, 

 the anterior of which are confluent with the dorso-lateral streak. 



D. (Lake Homs.) Very similar to the preceding, but the 

 greenish-white vertebral streak bifurcates just before reaching the 

 occiput and the light spots form vertical bars on the side of the neck ; 

 a series of white spots along the side of the body. 



E. (Lake Phiala and Ferzol.) The light dorsal streaks as usual, 

 except that the vertebral does not reach the occiput in the Ferzol 

 specimens ; the spaces between them very dark brown. Very numerous 

 white spots on the sides of the body, forming four or five longitudinal 

 series ; some of them may be confluent into vertical bars — a feature also 

 met with in the young of the var. schreiberi. 



¥. (Jerusalem.) Like the preceding, but the vertebral streak 

 forked on the nape and broken up by black spots further down the 

 body. Sides with very numerous round light spots, but no light 

 streak. 



These markings disappear with age, although they may be pre- 

 served to some extent in adult females or even in males. As the 

 streaks vanish, the head and body may become more and more spotted 

 or marbled with black and the ground colour assume a green 

 tint; adult males from Syria and Asia Minor are bright green, 

 <!losely speckled with black as in the var. major, the head being finely 

 speckled or vermiculate with black. No blue on the head. End of 

 tail often reddish yellow, even in green specimens. Lower parts yellow, 

 sometimes finely speckled, all over or only on the sides, in males, 

 rarely in females.
