^m/] BARBOUR — SOLOMON ISLAND REPTILES 105 



of the very widespread species, this form is evidently a very 

 rare one wherever it occurs. Out of all the very many seines 

 caught by Mrs. Barbour and myself in Dutch Papua only one 

 represented this form, while Mann had exactly the same ex- 

 perience in the Solomons. 



Sphenomorphus woodfordi (Boulenger) 



Lygosotna woodfordi Boulenger, P. Z. S., 1887, p. 335; Liz. Brit. Mus., 

 3, 1887, p. 511, pi. 25, fig. 4. 



Described from a single specimen, this rare form appears now 

 from two new localities, one specimen from Ugi and six from 

 Wainone Bay, San Cristobal. 



Sphenomorphus solomonis (Boulenger) 



Lygosoma solomonis Boulenger, P. Z. S., 1887, p. 334; Cat. Liz. Brit. 

 Mus., 3, 1887, p. 510, pi. 23, fig. 4. 



A single specimen from Auki, Malaita, varies somewhat from 

 the original description in having 22, not 24-26, rows of scales 

 about the body, and about 20 or 21 lamellae under the fourth 

 toe, instead of seventeen. 



Sphenomorphus concinnatus (Boulenger) 



Lygosoma condnnatum Boulenger, P. Z. S., 1887, p. 335; Cat. Liz. Brit. 

 Mus., 3, 1887, p. 511, pi. 26, fig. 4. 



A rare species which for a long time was known apparently 

 only from the types, four specimens from Faro Island. It 

 appears, however, to be more widespread, for Mann got one 

 from New Georgia, twelve from Auki, Malaita, and four from
