Lamellae subdigitales flat, with a straight border. 
Palmar and plantar scales granule-like, rounded. Subcaudal 
scales keeled, more or less pointed, rounded or straight, ranged in 
rather equal whirls. 
COLORATION. 1 
As regards the coloration this form presents two principal types. 
The one represented by the Portuguese, and the other by the Northspanish 
(and African) specimens. The former is more like Lacerta muralis Laur., 
the latter especially the Ç $ and younger $ more like Lacerta taurica 
Pall., whilst senil £ sometimes strikingly resemble those of Lacerta muralis 
var. quadrilineata Gene to which fact Prof. Méhely kindly directed my 
attention. 
The difference between the two types lies in the phenomenon, of 
the Portuguese individuals being in both sexes dotted or reticulated to a 
greater degree, whilst the Coruna specimens are sharply striped, and even 
in old (J the two supraciliar striæ are clearly visible." 
I purpose to first describe the Portuguese specimens, then notifying 
the differences existing between the Coruna ones and the former. 
Pileus brownish, with more or less densely strewn dark sepia 
brown or blackish spots and dots. Region between the two vittae tem¬ 
porales bearing a lighter or darker olive-brown hue, sometimes with a 
very slight reddish-brown tone in it. The living animals might have shown 
a somewhat greenish-brown colour in some individuals ; however the colour 
hardly could be considered as a distinct «green», not even in the Galicia 
specimens, thus Seoane’s description (13, p. 18.) «el dorso es de color verde» 
might appear somewhat exaggerated. The two whitish striae supra- 
ciliares are very weakly developed ; in the $ $ they are somewhat 
more apparent without always being continual in their course, or again 
we find them disappearing gradually and almost completely vanishing 
towards the middle of the trunk; the stripes in question may however 
also be found under a more clearly developed form. In the (J <$ the supra- 
ciliar stripes are very feebly marked, generally in form of closely connected, 
superposed, somewhat lighter ocellæ, 2 or may also almost quite disappear. 
The dark-sepia or blackish parietal vittae are present in all 
specimens examined, in the $ $ more or less continual, or formed of well 
1 In alcohol specimens. 
2 Slightly resembling the respective designs of Lacerta anatolica Wern. (Méhely, 
9, p. 447.) on which they are however considerably larger, and not superposed.
