G. J. FEJBRVÁRY 
$ (very like L. taurica Pall.) : The ground colour of temporal 
vittae of a deeper brown, on the upper and lower border of which we 
find a nearly continual .series of sepia brown spots. No distinguishable 
shoulder-spots neither ocellae-like markings. The supraciliary 
stripes are very sharply developed, yellowish, and might be somewhat 
greenish-irridescent in living specimens. Parietal vittae consisting 
of large sepiabrown spots, forming a nearly continual and regular series ; 
region between them of a lighter brown or greenish colour. Traces of 
occipital vitta in form of a narrow sepia-brown line on nuchal 
region. Subocular stripe sufficiently apparent. 
Semiad. $ (very like L. taurica Pall.) : Resembling the $ Ç, however 
spots in vittæ less confluent, more reticulated. 
Senil g 1 (resembling var. quadrilineata Gene) :Supraciliarian 
stripes as distinctly, or somewhat less marked as in semiad. (J. Sub¬ 
ocular stripe almost disappearing. Spots much larger, less confluent, 
ranged in reticulated designs. Occipital vitta visible in form of 
very small spots. Ground colour of region between temporal vittæ more 
or less greenish. 
The Morocco specimens figured by Boulenger (8, Pl. II. and 4, PI. 
XXIX.) seem also to belong to the striped form. 
Lower surfaces in all individuals (portuguese and Spanish) whitish, 
uniform or more or less spotted with black. 
SKULL. 2 
(Plate II.) 
Skull of moderate size, elongate, twice as long 3 as broad. 4 The skull 
of the larger measures about 15 mm in length, 7*5 mm in width, and 
8*7 mm in height. 5 The measurements of the second skull are: length: 14*6 
mm, width : 7 mm, height : 8*5. Snout tolerably long and slender. Nos¬ 
trils wide, oblong, thus turbinalia clearly apparent. The proces- 
1 In not mentioned characters agreeing with the semiad. 
2 I prepared 3 skulls, all $ ; two from Alcochête are whole, and one from Lisbon 
is disjoined (by macerating), for éxamination of its single parts. The description of the skull 
is based on these three specimens. Some parts, to a certain degree externally attainable 
(fontanelle, supraciliaries, retrociliary, temporal region) have also been examined on unpre¬ 
pared heads. 
3 Its length measured from tip of snout to middle of condylus occipitalis. 
4 Measured the space between the two points of jugalia. 
6 Measured from roof of skull (in region coiresp. to occipital schield) to middle 
point of the convex basioccipital.
