EUMECES ELEGANS Boulenger. 



Herpet. Japan, L907, p. 202 

 Known both from Formosa and the Pescadores. 



EUMECES CHINENSIS (Gray). 



(Herpet. Japan, L907, p. 208.) 

 Collected by Swinhoe at Tamsui and by Tada at Taipa. 



MABUYA LONGICAUDATA(Hallowell). 



(Herpet. Japan, 1907, p. 214, pi. Hi. 



Nothing new has been added to our knowledge of the status of the 

 Formosan specimens. Barbour, however, has examined specimens 

 from Hainan and Siam and find that in these the scales have three 

 keels, while Fischer's figure (reproduced in Herpet. Japan, pi. 16, 

 fig. 5) shows only two, and on the strength of this discrepancy he 

 suspects Mabuya ruhstrati (Fischer) from South Formosa of being a 

 valid species." 



SPHENOMORPHUS INDICUS (Gray).

Sphenomorphus indicus Barbour, Proc. New England Zool. Club, vol. I, 

 Nov. 24, 1909, p. 64 ( Bankoro, Central Formosa). 



Two additional specimens, collected April 26, 1907, at Bankoro, 

 Central Formosa, have been recorded by Mr. Barbour, to whose kind- 

 ness I owe the privilege of examining them. Both have •'! I scale 

 rows around the middle of the body. The larger specimen is without 

 a dark lateral band, which is quite pronounced in the smaller one.

The genus being additional to the fauna of Formosa and not 

 included in the Herpetology of Japan, the synonymy, as well as thai
