CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF LACERTA 
MURALIS LAUR. YAR. BOCAGEI SEOANE. 
By Baron G. J. de Fejérváry. 
(Plates I—III.) 
It is to the kindness of Mr. J. de Bethencourt-Ferreira at the 
Bocage-Museum of Lisbon, that I owe the ten specimens of a muralis - like 
lizard which I determined as Lacerta muralis Laur. var. Bocagei Seoane. 
However, to remove any possible doubt regarding the exactitude of my 
determinaton I sent the specimens to Mr. G. A. Boulenger in London, 
who, after having kindly undertaken their examination, agrees to my 
conclusions on the subject. 
Not knowing of the exibtence of any detailed description of 
this form, it may not be superfluous to publish one of its external mor¬ 
phological markings as well as of the skull. 
In my description I follow the rules of the excellent system introduced 
by the eminent herpetologist, Prof. Br. L. de Méhely, in his recent work (9). 1 
As I do not wish to enter into any detailed systematic or phylogenetic 
considerations, I maintain provisionally the form’s denomination employed 
by Don V. L. Seoane (18, p. 18—19.) and Boulenger (4, p. 861 and 415.), 
i. e. : Lacerta muralis Laur. var. Bocagei Seoane, not emitting any defi¬ 
nitive opinion as to its systematical justness. 
I cannot omit expressing my very sincerest thanks to Prof. Dr. J. de 
Bethencourt-Ferreira at Lisbon, for the most obliging donation of 
the material, as well a« to Mr. G. A. Boulenger in London, for his extreme 
amiability in examining the specimens in question and directing my atten¬ 
tion to certain interesting characters. I am also very much indebted 
to Prof Dr. Méhely, who with great cordiality put at my disposal the 
material received from Prof Dr. Schreiber.
