5. Agama {StelUo) cyanogaster, Eupp. 



Eiipp. Neu. Wirb. Kept. p. 10, t. v. — Dum. et Bibr. iv. p. 532. 



Extremely abundant throughout the highlands, where it 

 may often be seen upon rocks. It is especially comiaon 

 in Northern Tigrd on sandstone. It is a large, brightly 

 coloured, and handsome lizard, and very active and wary, 

 so much so that I could only obtain specimens by shoot- 

 ing them. I never saw it in the Anseba vaUey, nor in 

 general below 7,000 feet of elevation. 



The blue veining of the under-parts is far more con- 

 spicuous in some specimens than in others ; usually it is 

 to a great extent confined to the chin. The following 

 are the dimensions of a moderate-sized specimen: —
