1 $ . Length of head and body 65 mm. 9/10 snpralabials, 

 7/8 infralabials. 14 longitudinal rows of dorsal tubercles. 65 

 dorsal scales in a transverse row across the middle of the body. 

 101 scales in a line between the suture of the chin-shields and 

 the vent. 28 ventral scales across the middle of the belly. 



3. Agama sanguinolenta Pall. 



4 specimens, agreeing in every respect with others from 

 Transcaspia (Askhabad, Anau, Bairam-Ali). Length of head and 

 body 83 mm. ( <5 ), 81 mm. ( c? ), 78 mm. ( $ ), and 36 mm. (juv.). 

 14 to 17 snpralabials, 15 to 17 infralabials. 43 to 47 gular scales 

 and 73 to 76 ventral scales in a line from mental to vent. 58 to 



64 dorsal and ventral scales round the middle of the body. The 

 young differs from the adults in having no spinose scales. 



4. Eremias velox velox Pall. 



2 specimens, entirely agreeing with other material from Trail s- 

 caspia (Askhabad, Bairam-Ali). Length of head and body 



65 mm. ( cT ) and 34 mm. (juv.). 6 to 9 superciliaries. The large 

 supraocular shields completely or almost completely separated by a 

 row of granules from the frontal and the postfrontal. Intranasal 

 not reaching the rostral. 6 anterior and 3 posterior snpralabials, 

 6 to 8 infralabials. 5 or 6 chin-shields in the young, the first 3 or 4 

 forming a. suture. 22 or 23 gular scales in a line between the 

 suture of the chin-shields and the collar. 10 plates in the collar. 

 50 to 53 dorsal scales a.cross the middle of the body. 30 trans- 

 verse rows of ventral plates, the longest of which consists of 13 

 to 15 plates. 20/2 1 femoral pores. Snpracaudal scales strongly 

 .keeled. 



5. Eremias intermedia Str. 



3 typical specimens. Length of head and body 55 mm. ( $ ). 

 • 37 and 38 - 5 mm. (juv.). In the $ a granule between the 



prefrontals. 6 to 8 superciliaries. The large supraocular shields 

 entirely separated by a row of granules from the frontal and the 

 postfrontal*. 64-1 + 2 to 4 supralabials. 7 or 8 infralabials. 

 26 or 27 gular scales in a line between the suture of chin-shields 

 and the collar. 11 or 12 plates in the collar. 47 to 50 dorsal 

 scales across the middle of the body. 29 or 30 transverse 

 rows of ventral plates, the longest of them consisting of 16 to 

 18 plates. 13 or 14 femoral pores on each side. 



* I shall show in a more detailed publication that the subspecies transcaspica 

 Nik., which, according to the author, may be distinguished by this character, is 

 identical with the typical E. intermedia.
