Latastia longicaudata (Reuss). 



Blgr.: Cat. Lizanls 15. M. III, p. 55. 



Common together with the following two species of Eremias on an open plain 

 north of Guaso Nyiri just east of the förd on the Marsabit road 13 /2 1911. This was 

 the only place where I saw lizards in great numbers during the whole expedition. 



This lizard is found from Senegambia through Sudan to Abyssinia, but extends 

 southwards into German East Africa. 



Eremias spokei sextseniata Stejneger. 

 Stejnegek: Proc. U. S. Nar, Mus. XVI, 1883, p. 718. 



Common together with the following species on an open plain north of Guaso 

 Nyiri near the Marsabit road. The colour pattern of my specimens is just as that 

 described for sextceniata, and the subocular is excluded from the lip. 



Eremias smithi Blgr. 

 Blgk.: Proc. Zool. Soc. 1895, p. 534, Pl. XXIX, fig. 4. 



This Lizard was common with the two preceding on an open plain north of 

 Guaso Nyiri near the förd on the Marsabit road. Specimens were collected there 13 lz 

 1911. In habits and general appearance all three were very much alike so that first 

 by a closer examination the diversity was revealed. 



This little Lizard was discovered at Milmil in Haud, Western Somaliland. Some- 

 what låter it was found at Lugh, S. Somaliland, and it is therefore of interest to 

 find that its distribution extends as far south as to Guaso Nyiri. 



Gerrhosauridse. 

 Gerrhosaurus bergi Werner. 

 Werner: Zool. Anzeiger, Vol. 30, p. 54. 



A specimen was caught at Njoro in the dry thornbush country north of Guaso 

 Nyiri in Febr. 1911. The frontonasal shield of this specimen was divided in two by 

 a longitudinal suture, and in other respects as well it agreed with Werner's de- 

 scription. The tip of the frontonasals is, however, not so broadly in contact with 

 the rostral as on Werner' s figure. 12 femoral pores. 



Werner obtained the type specimen from Usambara. The locality quoted above 

 is about 1° N. lat. and thus far to the north from Usambara, which makes this find 

 of zoogeographical interest.
