colouration. 
Prom Western Turkestan Severtzoff 1 quotes, besides E. variabilis and E. cceruleo-oceUata 
vE. velox), two species which he calls E. intermedins , Strauch, and E. ery thrums. Neither ot: 
lGse species, so far as I know, has been described ; E. erythrurus, Severtzoff himself suggests, 
® a y he the young of E. velox. Two species of Scapteira and Lacerta stirpiu/m are also 
deluded in the list of reptiles obtained in Western Turkestan. 
E. vermicnlata may be the same as E. pylzowi collected by Przevalski in the deserts of 
ash an, 27 degrees of longitude east of Yarkand. The principal characters of the two 
species are similar, and so is the colouration, but, judging from the figure, the toes of the fore 
°t are considerably shorter in E. pylzowi.

j This is a very much larger specimen than the types, and so much stouter, that at first 
, " as nv uch inclined to consider it distinct. But the proportions are the same, and the only 
• a( hural distinction I can find is, that there arc twenty -three rows of scales round the body 
ea d of twenty-one. Tins amount of variation is commonly found in scinques. 
fc . '^ le h'ngth of the specimen is 13 inches ; tail, probably renewed when young, 6 ; circum- 
*** rou nd the middle of the body, 3 ; head, 095 long ; fore limb, 135 ; hind limb, 1'75, both 
ab ' e en< ^ ^he claws. The colour noted by Dr. Stoliczka on the living specimen is brown 
hicT a h ar h central stripe, upper parts of sides darker and with small white spots in longi- 
thi 1Ua t rows ; the upper portion of the limbs also spotted, lower portion of sides greenish, 
of 8 C0l °^ extending across the ears to the lower labials ; feet below pale fleshy, the whole 
tb lG ^° Wer surface deep waxy yellow. In spirits the middle of the back is very little darker
