Text Appearing Before Image:
to 80 scales acrossthe middle of the body ; 3 to 5 lateral scales cor-respond to the length of a ventral plate. Ventralssquarish, broader than long, in 6, rarely 8, longi-tudinal, and 25 to 32 transverse series. Pre-analbordered by one or two semicircles of small scales.Limbs rather elongate, especially in the males, inwhich the hind-limb reaches the shoulder or beyond.Scales on upper surface of tibia smaller than dorsals.Femoral pores, 13 to 29. Tail usually about twice aslong as head and body; caudal scales more or lessdistinctly keeled, with truncate or very obtuselypointed posterior border. Central and Southern Europe, North-west Africa,Asia Minor, Northern Persia, Syria. (ct) FORMA TYPICA. Size comparatively small. Head usually ratherstrongly depressed. The hind-limb rarely reaches theaxilla in the female. 40 to 65 scales across themiddle of the body; 3 or 4 lateral scales corre-spond to the length of a ventral. Upper parts brownor greyish, variously spotted, marbled, or streaked

The above is the technical account of the specificcharacters of the British species of lizards, and withthe explanation we have given of the terms used, anymember of a field club will be able to trace thesecharacters out for himself on a specimen. It ishoped that one result will be that a few field natural-ists here and there will take up the subject of thevariations in size, colour, and proportions, of thelizards of the locality, and thus add to our presentknowledge of the question.
