Some time ago the Swedish Missionary, Rev. Th. Eng- 

 dahl, kindly presented to the Nat. Hist. Museum, Stockholm, 

 a collection of lizards and snakes from Kismayu and Mofi, 

 near Juba river in the northeastern corner of British East 

 Africa. This collection contains a number of quite interesting 

 animals belonging to the typical Somali-fauna and also two 

 new species of snakes. 



Lizards. 



Heniidactylus mabouia Mor. de Jonnés. 

 6 specimens. 



H. tiircicus Lin. 



2 specimens which are provided with resp. 8 and 7 la- 

 mellse under the inner, and 10 under the median toe, thus 

 more than in H. sinaitus and brookii. This locality appears 

 to rather southern for this Gecko. 



H. ruspolii Blgr. 

 14 specimens.
