Of Andrew Smith's Illustrations of the Zoology of South 

 Africa, there have appeared, since the work was last noticed in 

 these Reports, the Parts from 13 to 19 ; that is, in the year 

 1841 Parts 13 to 15; 184.2, only Part 16; and in 1843, 

 Parts 17 to 19. The 13th Part contains, of the Amphibia, 

 the figure of Bucephalus capensis, Sm. (Dendrophis colubrina, 

 Schlegel). The 15th, Coluber nanus, Merr. The 16th, Naja 

 haje, Sin. (Echidna flava, Merr.) The 17th, Lycodon yeometri- 

 cus, Schlegel, and Lycodon yuttatus, Sm.,n. sp.Cordylusmicro-

 melanotus, algoensis and subviridis], C. fasciatus (C. micro- 

 lepidotus, Dum. Bibr.), C. capensis (Zonurus capensis, Dum. 

 Bibr.), C. polyzonus (Zonurus polyzonus, Dum. Bibr.), 

 C. yriseus, Cuv., C. cataphractus, Gray. The heads and 

 crania of the various species are exhibited on a separate 

 plate. The 19th Part contains Viper a cornuta and V. 

 lophophrys, Cuv., Naja h&machates (Viper a hcemachates, 

 Daud., Naja capensis, Sm.) Of S. Nilsson's Scandiuavisk 

 Fauna the third Part has appeared, containing the Amphibia 

 (Lund. 1842). The Amphibian Fauna corresponds almost 

 entirely with that of North Germany, for there are enume- 

 rated one Tortoise Einys lutaria (europceci] three Lizards 

 LacertaayiUs,vivipara and Anguis frayilis ; three Snakes 

 Coluber natrix, Icevis (austriacus) , and Viper a Berus ; nine

 bates fuscus, Bitfo vulyaris, variabilis, and calamita, and 

 lastly, three caudate Batrachians Triton cristatiis, alpeslris, 

 and punctains ; thus altogether 19 Amphibia, among which 

 is one new species. 



In the year 1842 appeared the third volume of the 

 Zoology of New York, or the New York Fauna of James De 

 Kay (Albany, 1842, 4), containing the Amphibia. 161 species 

 have been enumerated as occurring in the United States, of 

 which 64 species belonging to New York are described and
