). Head with prominent tubercular head crests, the lateral and parietal crests forming a low triangular casque. The scales on the casque and between the canthal crests are weakly convex and between the supraorbital crests are more strongly convex. The parietal crest forks anteriorly, consisting of two ridges of strongly convex tubercles that meet with the posterior edge of the supraorbital crests. The temporal region is covered in weakly convex scales, larger than on the flanks but smaller than the tubercles on the fore-limbs. A row of larger scales borders the posterior margin of the orbit. The gular region consists of several rows of enlarged, strongly convex tubercles separated from the gular crest by fine scales. The gular crest is made up of short, conical tubercles that continue onto the belly as a much shorter ventral crest that terminates at the vent. The scales on the eye turrets are weakly heterogeneous, fine towards the outer margin with slightly larger, more convex scales around the eye opening.

There are two prominent rows of large tubercles on each flank. The lower row runs between the limbs. The upper row starts above the forelimb level with the lateral crest and extends the length of the body, continuing onto the tail as a series of smaller tubercles. The dorsal crest is well-developed and consists of a single row of conical scales that extends the length of the body and continues on to the tail almost to the tip, the scales decreasing in size posteriorly. The scales of the dorsal crest are heterogeneous in size, forming groups of four scales that increase in size posteriorly within each group, the last two scales significantly larger than the ones before them. The upper surfaces of the limbs are covered in numerous enlarged, weakly convex tubercles, although smaller in size than those of the two lateral rows. A large convex tubercle is present on the flank above the point where the forelimb meets the body. The ventral surfaces of the limbs and tail are covered in fine homogenous scales. The hemipenes are not everted.</paragraph>

). There are no published reports on the frequency of fires in the afroalpine zone on Kinangop Peak, and the impact of fires on chameleons populations in the afroalpine zone has not been studied. Fires typically result in a total loss of surface vegetation and are likely to lead to the extinction of local chameleon populations in the short-term. The frequency of fires and the ability of chameleons to re-colonise burnt areas may result in chameleons being absent from much of their potential range. There may also be other long-term negative effects of fires due to population fragmentation and loss of genetic diversity through extreme population fluctuations. Further research is recommended to learn more about the distribution, ecology and the impact of fires on
