occur in that island [Formosa]." It is interesting to record now how correct Stejne- 

 ger's surmise was. A fine specimen from Tapposha, Mi. Arizan, central Formosa, 

 was acquired with the Owston material. It is colored as Indian specimens arc, bul 

 differs very slightly in having 1<> scale sseparating the supraoculars and l<> supra- 

 Iabials. The scale rows are 27 in number, which Boulenger slates is a rare condition.

This addition to the fauna of Formosa was recorded by Doctor 

 Siebenrock while the present paper was in the press. 1 can there- 

 fore only refer to his article, from which the above synonymy is 

 derived. The Vienna Museum received eleven specimens from 

 Fuhosho, South Formosa.
