Reptiles.

Read November 9th 1921. 



The members of the above Expedition under the direc- 

 tion of Captain S. A. Loven have collected the Reptiles 

 enumerated below at the various localities, which were visited. 

 East Africa is as is well known not very rich in Reptiles, 

 and the number of species contained in this collection is 

 therefore, naturally enough, not very large. The greatest 

 interest was, of course, connected with the fauna of M:t 

 Elgon itself. It proved, however, thafc the members of the 

 same belonged, at least chiefly, to previously known species 

 with the exception of an Agama, which is described as new. 

 There are no species which point to any distinct West African 

 affinity, but a few are also known from Ruwenzori as well.
