supraoclar always broadly separated. Series of granules between supr-a- 
ocularia and supraciliaria in part of examined material complete* 
in the other part incomplete or interrupted, containing 9—18 
granules. 4—7 supraciliaria; the first being always the largest ; 
the second longer than broad ; the others sometimes broader than long, 
or longer than broad, varying without system in one and the same row. 
Parietal large, strongly developed ; in the $ always longer than the 
distance between the anterior corner of frontale and the tip of snout ; in 
the Ç this lenght measured from the frontale’s anterior corner reaches, 
or exceeds as in <$ $, the tip of snout ; its outer border generally convex 
(PI. I. fig. 2.) or straight, rarely very slightly concave 
(PI. I. fig. 1.) at the beginning; in the first case its outer border corresponds 
approximately to that of the outer post frontal bone, 1 whilst in the second 
case the parietal’s outer edge more or less adapts itself to the suture existing 
between the inner and outer post frontal bone. 2 The parietal is generally 
more or less extensively connected on both sides with the 1-st postocular. 
Occipital and interparietal vary in size and shape ; interparietal 
longer than occipital, the length of which equals or generally exceeds, the 
distance between its anterior border and the foramen interparietale, 3 whilst 
occipital at its base is always broader than the interparietal (measured at 
its broadest place). 4 
A single nasofrenale rests on the supralabiale I. ; its lower 
posterior corner reaches, nearly reaches or slightly extends beyond, the 
hind border of the I. supralabiale. (In an adult Ç specimen I observed a 
small intercalary shield, on both sides, bordered by the nasofrenale, frenale, 
supranasale, internasale and the frontanasale). Frenai inclining slightly 
forwards ; generally higher than long ; not in contact with the supranasal. 
Frenooculare the largest of loreal shields ; measured in its middle-line 
in both sexes its lenght equal to, perceptibly longer 5 or somewhat shorter 
than the distance between its anterior border in the middle-line and the 
lower anterior corner (or the anterior border) of nasofrenal. A well developed 
1 According to Méhely this can be regarded in general as characteristic for the 
Neolacertae. 
2 According to Méhely this formation can generally be observed in the Archaeo- 
lacertae. 
3 A $ from Lisbon excepted in which the length of the occipital exceeds that of the 
interparietal. 
4 Except the semiad. <$ from Coruna in which occipital is as long as interparietal 
and the latter broader than the occipital. 
5 Its length may attain or very slightly exceed the distance between its anterior 
»border and the upper lateral corner of rostral.
