Fol. XXII + 144 pp. + double page map + ix + 10 + viii plates. 



The ' ' Reptilia ' ' of the Fauna Japonica was apparently issued in three separate parts, 

 namely, I Chelonii, II Ophidii, and III Saurii et Batrachii, the plates being numbered 

 separately in each part, but the pagination of the text running on continuously. The 

 publication appears to have been as follows: 



1835. Fauna Japonica auctore Ph. Fr. de Siebold. Chelonii. Ehiborantil)us C. J. 

 Temminck et H. Schlegel. Lugd. Batav. (1835). 80 S. mit 9 unkolorirten 

 Steindrucktafeln in Fol. 



The above is the title of the first part, as given in Miinchen Gelehrte Anzeiger, II, 

 No. 90, 5 May, 1836, p. 74.3. It is there stated that Fitzinger's paper on the Chelonians 

 (.\nn. WienMus., 1, 1835) "gleichzeitigmit dieseni Thcil der Fauna Japonica erschien." 

 On p. 751 a list of the plates 1-9 is given, but no reference is made to the map represent- 

 ing the "Distribution geographique des Cheloniens" which accompanies the bound 

 volume of the Reptilia. 



Also rexaewedin Wiegmann's Archiv., 1836, II, p. 259, in the "Leistungen" for 1835. 



1837. Fauna Japonica auctore Ph. Fr. de Siebold. Ophidii. Elaborantibus G. J. 

 Temminck et H. Schlegel. Lugd. Batav. (1837) S. 81-93 und i-xxx mit 

 10 unkolorirten Steindrucktafeln in Fol. 



The second part of the Reptilia (third of the Fauna Japonica) is thus quoted by A. 

 Wagner, in the Miinchen Gelehrte .Vnzeiger, V, No. 134, July 7, 1837, p. 41. This part, 

 according to him, contained two different memoirs, the first one, by Schlegel, treating 

 of the Japanese snakes (pp. 81-93 + pis. i-x) ; the other, by Temminck, giving a re\'iew 

 of the faunas of the Sunda Islands and of Japan (pp. i-xxx). 



The latter, which is dated November, 1835, but first distributed through the book 

 trade during the Easter "Messe" at Leipzig in 1837,'^ is evidently Temminck's "Coup 

 d'Qeil."6 



Wagner (on p. 55) calls special attention to the Triton japonUuii mentioned by Tem- 

 minck in this work. 



This part is also reviewed in Magazine of Zoology and Botany (ed. by Jardine, Selby 



and John ton), II, 1837, No. IX, p. 266 (published August 1, 1837). 



1838. The title pagej of the entire reptile volume bears this date and may be taken as correct 



for the pul)lication of the third part, embracing the Saurii and Batrachii (pp. 



85-144, pis. i-viii). On p. 140, the last page of the text (exclusive of index), is printed 



o"Diese Abhandlung is vom November 1835 datirt; durch den Buchandel ist sie 

 indesz erst seit des letzten Ostermesseangezeigt und verbreitet." Wagner, Miinchen 

 Gelehrte Anzeiger, V, p. 43. 



^ I have seen only two copies of this memoir, the full title of which is as follows: 



Coup d'oeil | sur la Faune des iles de la Sonde | et de | I'empire du Japon. | Dis- 

 cours pr^liminaire | destine a servir d'introduction a la Faune du Japon. 



It is a folio of xxx pp., with Temminck's name at the end only. The copy which 

 I examined in the library of the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris, was bound with the 

 mammals of the Fauna Japonica.
