13. Lygosoma cyanurum, Less. 
One adult and two young from the Seleo Island and one young from 
Berlinhafen. 
In respect to the coloration it may be remarked, that the young are 
above and on the sides of a splendid deep black, iridescent, with seven 
golden longitudinal streaks on the body, of which the lowest is indistinct. 
Tail violetblue as in LEssoxs figur ?), but in all probability only through 
the influence of spirit, while I have observed, that the.golden streaks on 
the body become also violet-blue in spirit ; the tail was very likely in life 
golden coloured. Limbs and fingers dotted with gold on a black ground; 
upper side of legs with a longitudinal golden streak. Lower parts pearl- 
white. 
The adult specimen has the same markings, but the black ground- 
colour is less intense; head brown above; the longitudinal streaks faint 
brownish grey.
