 mens examined. 



Chameleon dilepis isabellinus (Giinth.) ? 

 Giinther, P. Z. S. 1892, p. 556. 



As ah'eady stated, many of the Morogoro specimens might be 

 referred to this subspecies ; so it is with considerable hesitation I 

 apply this name to a female from Gulwe (28. iv. 17) measuring 

 lOl'lOl mm. and a female from Dodoma (8. xii. 18) measuring 

 105*106 mm., which, while typically isahellinus, I believe might 

 jfind their counterpart in the long series of seventy specimens 

 collected at Morogoro. 



Chamjeleon bit^niatus (Fisch.). 

 Blgr. Cat. Liz. iii. 1887, p. 452. 



Eight specimens were collected at Longido West (ii. 16) and on 

 the Longido-Moschi trek. Colour in life : — " Light brown or khaki ; 

 a light lateral stripe commencing at the eye disappears towards 

 the base of -the tail; a lower stripe commencing on the upper 

 labials continues along the side to the hind-leg ; two small 

 saddle-like markings on anterior part of back were of an ochre 

 tint, and there were three blotches of the same colour connecting 

 the upper and lower stripes." 



Six of the eight specimens were females, the largest measuring 

 65 inches (88*78 mm.), largest male 5|- inches (75-68 mm.). Four 

 of the females contained eggs, from seven to ten in number. The 

 largest were 7 mm. in diameter. Probably they would be laid in 

 March. 



Cham.elegn hcehxelii (Steind.). 



Steind. Sitz. Ak. Wien, 1891, p. 307. 



There are several examples in the Nairobi Museum of this 

 chameleon which were collected by the wHter at Kabete (20. ii. 15) 

 and West Kenia (23.xi. 15). The largest male from the last- 

 named locality measures 8| inches (110*100 mm.) and the largest 

 female 5| inches (73*63 mm.). The size of the casque in these 

 specimens varies a good deal. 



Chameleon jacksoni vauerescec.e (Tornier). 

 Torn. Zool. Jahrb. Syst. xix. 1903, p. 176. 



This is the common Three-horned Chameleon of Nairobi; it 

 differs from Ch. jacksoni in that the females are three- 



horned like the males. A very large series was collected at 

 Nairobi in 1915 and 1919. Unfortunately these are not avail- 

 able for the present paper as they are in Nairobi, except four 

 specimens and some notes made on a few of the others.
