HERPETOLOGY OF JAPAN. 



337 



Until further details relative to this specimen be obtained it is permis- 

 sible to suspect that a mistake in identification has been made, and 

 that in reality it is an E. schrenJcii. I must add, however, that there 

 are several specimens in the Hamburg Museum (Nos. 849-852) col- 

 lected by Doerries in the " Amurgebiet," which are identified there 

 as E. conspicillata.
