NOTES ON AMPHIBIA AND REPTILIA FROM 
EASTERN ASIA. 
BY THOMAS BARBOUR. 
Waite the writer was in Yokohama, selections were made from 
the stock of Mr. Alan Owston. The material embraced marine 
invertebrates, fishes, reptiles, etc., in considerable variety. The 
present list contains the species of amphibians and reptiles from. 
Japan proper, the Riu Kiuan groups, Formosa, Hainan and a few 
other scattered localities. On my arrival home, in 1907, I found 
Dr. Stejneger’s splendid Herpetology of Japan’ awaiting me. It 
has covered the field of these collections very completely; neverthe- 
less it seems worth while to put this material on record that future 
students may know where it can be consulted.” A few of the species 
were either new or hitherto unrecorded from the localities repre- 
sented, so that their publication was evidently desirable. 
For convenience of reference the original descriptions of Bufo 
bankorensis, Microhyla hainanensis, Rana subaspera, Goniosaurus 
hainanensis, Natrix aquifasciata, Pseudoxenodon steynegeri and 
Holarchus nesiotis, are repeated here. 
It is a great pleasure to thank Dr. Stejneger for the kindly way 
in which he has so often aided me.
