 REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS FROM SURINAM 



BY 



Dr. TH. W. VAN LIDTH DE JEUDE. 



July 1904. 



(Plate 7). 1 ) 



During the last years the interior of' Surinam was ex- 

 plored by several little expeditions. Though topographic 

 research was the main purpose of these expeditions, still 

 biology profited by them, as in most cases the physician 

 accompanying the expedition was charged with collecting. 



Dr. H. van Cappelle, who organized the first of these ex- 

 peditions, explored the neighbourhood of the river Nickeri 

 and its right tributary, the Fallawatra, in the last half of 

 the year 1900, and penetrated as far as the mountains 

 forming the watershed between Nickeri and Coppename. 

 Being a geologist, he himself took care of the zoological 

 department. 



From August till December of the year 1901 the basin 

 and the sources of the Coppename were the subject of 

 iuquiry of another expedition, whose physician Mr. H. A. 

 Boon was charged with collecting. 



The river Saramacca and its neighbourhood were ex- 

 plored from Oct. 1902 till the beginning of May 1903 by 

 an expedition, which was accompanied by Dr. P. J. de Kock, 

 sometime naval surgeon in H. M. Service, who took care 

 of the zoological collections.
