 Columns as on p. 176. 



In form, scaling, and coloration, this variety has much in common 

 with the Spanish-Portuguese var. bocagii, the resemblance being 

 particularly striking if the specimen from Mt. Fatguss be compared 

 with some from the mountains of Portugal. I may add that a male 

 from the Lozoya Valley, near Madrid, has the caudal scales more 

 pointed than in one from Mleti. 



A small male from Daghestan, Caucasus, received from the late 

 Dr. Eadde in 1904, appears to represent Mehely's var. gracilis. 



Although the collar is not serrated and the caudal scales can hardly 

 be called pointed, its resemblance to the specimen from Mt. Fatguss 

 is so great that I feel loth to separate it from them, even as a variety, 

 until a larger series of specimens demonstrates the constancy of the 

 characters adduced in favour of the distinction.

I could not have determined this lizard by means of Mehely's key, 

 as the hind limb does not extend beyond the axil. I refer it to 

 L. saxicola gracilis, M6hely, on account of the locality and of its
