J .List of the Saurians of Australia and New Zealand. By Albert Gunther, M.A., M.D., PhD., 

 F.R.S., A'.P.Z.S., Keeper of the Zoological Department of the British 3Iuseuni. 



I\ tliH year 184."!, wlic-n tlie ]iulilicatiiin of the Zoology of the " Erelms and Terror" was discontinued, Dr. dray had 

 already prepared some of tlie materials for the second part of the account of the Reptiles, and the j)lates intended for it 

 had been drawn on stone and the majority of them printed. These plates remained unpublished until the year 18(>7, 

 when, considering it a pity that work so beautifully executed and so useful to the Herpetologist should be lost, he 

 determined to render them accessible by publishing them as a collection of figures of Australian Lizards. Thus, then, 

 appeared a fasciculus under the title "The Lizards of Australia and New Zealand in the collection of the British 

 Museum," consisting of a nominal list and eighteen plates. Of these plates, plates 7, 10, 11, and 15 to 19 had not Vieeti 

 previously publislied; the others had already appeared in the Zoology of the "Erebus and Terror," with the exception of 

 plates 5 and 6, of which proofs only had been printed, the drawings having been afterwards inadvertently effaced by the 

 lithographic printer. Having fortunately discovered the proofs of these two plates, with the figures named in Dr. CJray's 

 handwriting, in a collection of miscellaneous drawings given to me by him, I induced the publisher of the present edition 

 to have them re-lithographed by Mr. Ford (the same artist who had drawn the originals), as the figures had been 

 referred to by Dr. Gray in the preceeding pages as well as in the "Catalogue of Lizards." Thus I believe, all the figiiic^; 

 of Reptiles executed for the "Zoology of the Erebus and TeiTor," are now before the public. 



After the lapse of nearly thirty years, there were serious difficulties in the way of simply continuing the letterpres.< 

 as originally planned and abruptly terminated on p. 8, and it was finally determined to give a complete list of all tin- 

 species of Australian and New Zealand Saurians at present known, with references to the principal works and figures 

 and indications of their habitats. Descriptions of a few new species lately received by the British Museum have been 

 added.
