Five specimens. 
9. Mabuia multifasciata Kuhl.

10. Lygosoma smaragdinum Less.

11. Lygosoma olivaceum Gray. 
A young specimen. 
12. Lygosoma vittatum Edeling. 
One adult specimen. Three specimens collected in 1845 
by Dr. Schwaner were then recognised as belonging to a 
new species and preserved in our collection under the name 
of Scincus Schwaneri. The description of this Sc. Schwaneri 
was however, as far as I know of, never given. 
Ophidia. 
13. Python reticulatus Schneid. 
Two half-grown specimens, 
14, Calamaria Prakkei, nov. spec. 
Scales in 13 rows. Five upper labials, the third and 
fourth entering the orbit. The first pair of lower labials 
not forming a suture behind the mental shield. No azygos 
shield between the chin-shields. One post- and one praeo- 
cular. Ventrals 144—126, an undivided anal-shield, sub- 
30—25 
caudals +: 
As to the pholidosis of the head, this species very much 
resembles Calamaria lumbricoidea as well as C. Grabowskyi 
and C. Temminckii, but differs widely from these species 
in the number of the ventral shields, C. lumbricoidea ha- 
ving 217—190 ventrals, C. Grabowskyi 186 a 185 and 
C. Temminckii with 187 ventral shields. 
I give here the number of ventrals and caudals with 
the measurements of the six specimens: 
a. 127—1—2%, total length 18 cm., length of tail 23 cm,
