CONCLUDING REPORT ON THE LATE 



CAPT. BOTTEGO's COLLECTION OF REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS 



FROM SOMALILAND AND BRITISH EAST AFRICA 



BY G. A. BOULENGER F. R. S. 



(Plates IX, X). 



Since the publication of the second Report (\) on the Reptiles 

 and Batrachians of the Bottego Expedition, the death of whose 

 leader we have to deplore, the Genoa Museam lias received 

 another series of specimens collected farther to the West and 

 which have been brought home by the Captain's companions, 

 Lieuts. Yannutelli and Citerni, together with some obtained at 

 Lugh, Southern Somaliland, by Capt. Ferrandi. All of these are 

 enumerated in the following list. For information on the localities, 

 and on the route followed by the expedition we must refer the 

 reader to the account and map in Boll. Soc. Geogr. Ital. (3) 

 X, 1897, p. 320. 



Since I drew up a list of the Reptiles and Batrachians of 

 Somaliland and Gallaland in the " Annali " of the Genoa Mu- 

 seum in 1897 a little contribution has appeared, in the first 

 volume of the Zoological series of the Field Columbian Museum 

 Publication, 1897, entitled " List of Fishes and Reptiles obtained 

 by Field Columbian Museum East Africa Expedition to Soma- 

 liland in 1896 " by S. E. Meek, which its author will, I am 

 sure, sincerely regret when he has acquired some acquaintance
