Tropidonotus trianguligerus Boie. L., P. 



In seven specimens which present the scutellation of this 

 species, there is considerable variation in color. No. 15,040, from 

 Goenong Soegi, has the general color dark olive and the spaces 

 between the black lateral blotches are colored like the back. This 

 specimen has the postoculars f and the temporals ^-3. 



Tropidonotus chrysargus Schl. P. 



Macropisthodon rhodomelus (Boie). l; 



Macropisthodon flaviceps (D. and B.)- L- 



Zaocys carinatus (Gunth.). L. 



Zamenis korros (Schl.)- L. 



Dendrophis pictus (Gm.). L., P. 



Dendrelaphis caudolineatus (Gray). P. 



Calamaria leucocephala D. and B. P. 



The single specimen of this species is blackish above, yellowish 

 beneath, a broad band of the light ventral color extending across 

 the nape and the parietals. 

 Psammodynastes pulverulentus (Boie). L. 



Compared with Bornean examples, this specimen has the ventral 

 surface thickly speckled with black, forming four quite regular 

 series in longitudinal lines. 



Dryophis prasinus Boie. L. 



Dryophis fasciolatus (Fisch.). P 



Chrysopelea ornata (Shaw). P. 



No. 15,006 has each scale with a conspicuous yellow spot. Ven- 

 trals black-edged. 



Platurus laticaudatus (L.). L. 



BATRACHIA.. 



Ecaudata. 



Bana tigrina Daud. P. 



Rana erythraea (Schl.). P. 



Rana chalconota (Schl.) P. 



Callula baleata (MtilL). p. 



No. 14,981 is a Callula, a genus which, as far as I am aware, has 

 not heretofore been reported from Sumatra. In the absence of 

 specimens for comparison, 1 see no reason to separate it from 

 C. baleata, which occurs in Java.
