similar in its markings to certain males of the var. quadrilineata, that 

 it might easily be mistaken for that variety were it not for the flatter 

 head ; and it is noteworthy that its exceptionally small scales (66 

 across the middle of the body) is a further approximation to the 

 Corsican-Sardinian form. Camerano has already pointed out that 

 some of the Ligurian specimens examined by him, with a much 

 flattened head and reticulate markings, are suggestive of the var. 

 bedriagae from the mountains of Corsica. On the other hand, Bedriaga- 

 regarded the var. hrueygemanni as forming the passage from the typical 

 form to his var. neapolitana {campestris + albiventris) , and it is a fact 

 that some specimens approach the var. albiventris.
