IS Barbom — New Lizards and New Toad from Dutch East Indie*. 



Cryptoblepharus boutonii balinensis subsp. nov. 



Type. — Museum of Comparative Zoology, No. 7480; collected at Bule- 

 leng, Bali Island, by T. Barbour. 



Scales in L'4 rows. Olive above, with four darker areas on the back, 

 separated by three light olive lines, and bounded below by the olive sides. 

 The median light line forks near the region above the axil, and the two 

 resultant lines continue down the back, bounding a median dark area 

 which is wide and continued to the root of the tail, which latter is olive 

 above and below. 



Cryptoblepharus boutonii cursor subsp. now 



Type. — Museum of Comparative Zoology, No. 747i>, from Ampenan, 

 Lombok Island, collected by T. Barbour. 



The coloration of this form is as follows: Middle of the back light olive 

 bounded on each side by a dark line, each of which meets the other at 

 the root of the tail, and fades away. Outside of these two dark lines are 

 first a silvery white line, beginning just above the eye, and running back 

 to the base of the tail; ami below this again there are wide black lines 

 running down each side from back of the eye to the tail; they continue 

 down the sides of the tail only a short distance, when they break up into 

 series of spots, and become indistinct and disappear. The lower surface 

 is silvery white. The limbs are checked with black and white square 

 spots. The tail is olive above, lighter below, fading to reddish towards 

 the tip. 



Colored figures are being prepared of these specimens. 



After the foregoing remarks on Cryptoblepharus had gone into type I 

 received a paper from Dr. Jean Roux on the Reptiles and Amphibians of 

 the Aru and Ke Islands (Abb. Senck. Xaturf. Ges., Vol. :'.:'», L910, pp. 

 L'l 1-1*47, (ils. 13-14). On page 240-241 he discusses at considerable length 

 what he calls Ablephararus boutoni var. keiensis n. var. This is figured; 

 and shows that in the Ke Islands, as in the islands of the Lesser Sunda 

 chain, we have a perfectly recognizable race which may be known as 

 Cryptoblepharus boutonii keiensis (Roux); while on page 218 he shows 

 us that the specimens from the Aru Islands may be referred to the sub- 

 species peronii ( ( !od . ). 



Among the lizards captured by the naturalists on board the I*. S. F. C. 

 Steamer Albatross were a number of sail-tailed lizards. These Dr. Stej- 

 neger kindly lent me for study. Among them, most fortunately, was a 

 single specimen from Amboina, the type locality of Schlosser's Lacerta 

 amboinensis.* Now, a comparison of these specimens with others which I 

 have from the Moluccas shows that we have been confounding several 



* Lophura lias Keen recently used for the genus by all authors. This generic name 

 is, however, preoccupied, so that ii becomes necessarj to use Hydrosaurus (Kaup, Isis, 

 1:828, p. 1H7). In Boulenger's list of synonymous genera, Tstiurus (Cuvier, K. A., 2nd 

 Ed., II, p. -11) appears before Kaup's name. Ii was not, however, proposed until is;;;i
