^ Owinj^ to variability and power of colour- change possessed by the Agamas, as 
j)ointed out in the South A.frican Journal of Science, 1917, p. 203, it is not possible to 
o-ive adequate descriptions of the coloration. We have therefore limited ourselves to 
some general statements, which, we trust, may be found helpful for the purpose of 
identification. 
f The nine columns read as follows in this as well as the other tables: 1. Length 
(in millimetres) from snout to vent. 2. Tail. 3. Head (to occiput). 4. Hind limb. 
5. Tibia (from heel to knee). 6. Foot (including claw). 7. Length of cleft of closed 
eye. 8. Greatest diameter of ear-opening. 9. Longest toe. The localities are given 
according" to latitude, beginning with the most southerly.
