1020 NOTES ON THE FAUNA OF KING's SOUND. 



Of Mollusca there are about 20 species of land andfreshwater shells 

 of the usual genera, but the species new. There are also in the 

 collection a great variety of other invertebrates in tubes which I 

 have not yet examined. The mammals of this collection were 

 exhibited by Mr. Masters at our last meeting. The birds are few 

 in number, and of the usual West Australian species. The 

 Reptilia are interesting and peculiar. The snakes comprised six 

 species— iVarrfofl Gilherti, Gray; Dipsas n.sp., Brachysoma simile, 

 Macleay; Pseudecliis Darwiniensis, Macleay ; Diemenia n.sp., 

 Acanthophis sp. (?). The Lizards are Varanus OouUii and punctatus, 

 Chlamydosaurus Kingii, Physignathm Gilherti; five species of 

 Amphiholurus ; five species of Lygosoma, a new Cyclodus, Ahle- 

 pharus Boutonii, Delma Fraseri, and six species of Geckotidce. 

 The River Fishes consisted of three species of Therapon, Aristeus sp., 

 Belone sp., Gohius sp., Chatoessiis EreU, and Toxotes jaculatnr.
