Annals of the Transvaal Museum. 
South African Museum has a specimen from Paarl ; Roux records it from 
Knysna, and Smith stated that the species was “ common in the grassy 
flats of the eastern districts of Cape Colony”, but I think that it does not 
extend much beyond Knysna in an easterly direction, as the species has 
not been taken by the museums of eastern Cape Province. 
Tetradactylus tetradactylus Lacep. — The South African Museum has 
records from the Cape Division, from Worcester, and from Robertson. 
Bocage has recorded it from Linokana (Transvaal), but I believe this to 
be an error (especially as he recorded Scelotes bipes , another Cape species, 
from the same locality), as no other worker has recorded this species from 
any other locality than south-west Cape Province. 
Tetradactylus africanus Gray. — Bocage records this species from South 
Angola ; the South African Museum has specimens from Namaqualand 
and from Natal, and the Natal Government Museum has it from Melmoth 
(Zululand). 
Cordylosaurus trivittatus Pet. — The British Museum Catalogue cites 
Benguela, Damaraland, and Great Namaqualand ; Bocage has it from 
south Angola ; the South African Museum has specimens from Little 
Namaqualand, Clanwilliam, and Calvinia. 
Cordylosaurus subtessellatus Smith. — Taken by the describer in Great 
Namaqualand. 
LACERTIDAE. 
Eremias. 
VENTRALS IN SIX LONGITUDINAL SERIES ; TWO LARGE SUPRAOCULARS, 
COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY GRANULES. 
Lower eyelid scaly ; occipital absent or minute ; a curved bandlike 
scale on the supero-anterior border of the ear. Liver-brown above 
(blackish in the young), with yellow spots and three longitudinal stripes, 
sometimes broken up into spots, the median stripe bifurcating on the 
nape. E. lugubris Smith. 
VeNTRALS IN TEN TO SIXTEEN LONGITUDINAL SERIES ; SUPRAOCULARS 
USUALLY IN CONTACT WITH THE FRONTAL. 
Lower eyelid with two large transparent scales; distance between loreal 
and first supraocular equal to or exceeding the length of the latter 
shield. 
Ventrals in ten longitudinal series ; dorsal scales smooth. Yellowish 
above, with five longitudinal dark-brown bands, the outer passing through 
the ear. E. undata Smith. 
Ventrals in twelve or fourteen longitudinal series ; dorsal scales 
keeled only on the hinder part of the body ; scales on upper surface of 
tibia much larger than the dorsals ; distance of loreal from first supraocular 
a little greater than length of the latter shield. Grey or brown above, 
with black and white ocelli, and sometimes a dark dorso-lateral band. 
E. pulchella Gray. 
Distinct from pulchella in that the dorsal scales are keeled from between
