Fol. 50 col. plates. Text 8^°, xiv + 141 pp. 



The following Japanese species are included: Trionyx japonicus, pi. xxxi; Salamandra 

 nsRvia, pi. xxxix, fig. 4; S. subcristata, pi. xl, figs. 1-3; S. nebulosa, pi. xl, figs. 7-10; 

 Emijs vulgaris japon., pi. xli, figs. 1-3; Hrjla buergeri, pi. l, fig. 5. All these were prob- 

 ably published in 1844. 



The work was issued in parts between the years 1837 and 1844. 



First part consisting of 10 plates (pis. I-X) and two signatures of text (pp. 1-32) 

 appeared early in 1837, and was reviewed by Rudolph Wagner in Miinchener Gelehrte 

 Anzeigen, IV, No. 127, June 28, 1837, pp. 1043-1044.a 



The second part, containing the second decade of plates (pis. 21-40) and pp. 33-64, was 

 published apparently in 1839. Sundevall (Arsber. Zool. Arbet., 1837-1840, pp. 183-184; 

 published 1841) speaks of the eleventh decade containing a monograph of the genus 

 Ti/phlops having been published in 1839, but he has evidently read Decas 11 instead 

 of Decas II. 



The rest of this publication was probably issued together in 1844, at least I find no con- 

 temporaneous reference to matter contained in this part previous to that year, and 

 Wiegmann, in his "Leistungen" for 1840, 1841, and 1842, does not mention it. .In the 

 "Leistungen" for 1843, however, the work is referred to as completed, and the years 

 given as ' ' 1837-1844, ' ' the same as on the title-page. The book, therefore, may have been 

 issued complete shortly after the T)eginiiing of 1844, as the preface is dated January, 1844. 

 That it did not appear in 1843 seems plain, moreover, from the fact that there is no refer- 

 ence to Schlegel's monographic synopsis of the genus Draco (pp. 81-96) in Fitzinger's 

 Systema Reptilium published in that year.
