102 BARBOUR — SOLOMON ISLAND REPTILES [^v!,l^V^II 



Gonyocephalus godeffroyi (Peters) 



Lophura godeffroyi Peters, Mon. Berl. Ac, 1867, p. 707, pi., fig. 1. 

 Gonyocephalus godeffroyi Boulenger, Cat. Liz. Brit. Mus., I, 1885, p. 295. 



Of this species, already known from many of the Solomons, 

 Dr. ]Mann took three specimens from Ugi, and four from Wain- 

 one Bay and one from Wai-ai, both places on San Cristobal. 



Boulenger (/. c.) records a specimen in the British Museum 

 from Fiji, and curiously enough then or since he never thought 

 to query the record. Mann collected for a year in Fiji, where 

 many other naturalists also have worked, without finding a 

 Gonyocephalus. To be sure the mongoose has played havoc with 

 the native fauna; but Brachylophus has not been exterminated, 

 although it is growing very rare, and did a Gonyocephalus occur, 

 we should expect it to have a similar status. 



Corucia zebrata (Gray) 



Coruda zebrata Gray, P. Z. S., 1855, p. 218, pi. 8. 



Corucia zebrata Boulenger, Cat. Liz. Brit. Mus., 3, 1887, p. 142. 



This gigantic seine seems to be rare, for Dr. ]\Iann secured 

 only one example from Wainone Bay, San Cristobal, the island 

 whence it first was described. It has been found in the Short- 

 lands and Guadalcanar. 



Emoia cyanogaster (Lesson) 



Sdncits cyanogaster Lesson, Voy. Coquille, Zool., 2, 1830, p. 47, pi. 3, 



fig. 3. 

 Lygosoma cyanogaster Boulenger, Cat. Liz. Brit. Mus., 3, 1887, p. 292. 



Four localities are represented : Wainone Bay, San Cristobal, 

 with forty-six specimens; Santa Ana, one; Ugi, two; and
