LIST OF REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS BROUGHT 

 EROM BRITISH INDIA BY W\ FRANCIS DAY 



DRAWN UP BY 



Dr. A. A. W. HÜBRECHT. 



In addition to the extensive collection of fishes which 

 Mr. F. Day has brought home from India and which has 

 furnished the material for his important and well-known 

 standard works on the ichthyology of the Indian continent ') 

 — the able counterparts of Bleeker's Atlas of the Fishes 

 from the Archipelago — this gentleman had occasion to 

 bring together a small collection of reptiles and amphibians 

 from the same region. The specimens being as a rule very 

 well preserved and the exact locality of their capture care- 

 fully noted , it may perhaps be worth while to give a 

 list of the specimens contained in the collection. Addition 

 to our knowledge of the distribution of some of the species 

 may thus be acquired. It must be noted that some few 

 of the specimens were not collected by Mr. Day himself 

 but presented to him by Dr. Stoliczka, the able naturalist 

 who did such good service in the advancement of our 

 knowledge of the countries he explored.
