 Indian Museum. 



Although the reptiles brought back by Mr. Kemp are perhaps 

 less interesting than the Batrachia, this is due solely to the fact 

 that the reptiles of the eastern parts of the Indian Empire have 

 been far more carefully studied than the toads and frogs. The 

 collection consists of 83 specimens of snakes, representing 26 

 species (of which 3 have not previously been described) ; 40 speci- 

 mens of lizards, representing 16 species (of which i is new), and a 

 single tortoise; that is to say, 124 specimens in all, representing 

 43 species.
