10 L. U. ANDERSSON, CATAL. OF LINNEAN TYPE-SPECIMENS OF REPTILIA. 



sents. It is however not A. carolinensis, the tibia is too 

 long.» 



Lacerta iguana. 



Linneeus in Amoen. acad. Tora I, N:o V, p. 123, N:o 11 aud 

 N:o XI, p. 287, N:o 12; Mus. Ad. Frid. /, ;j. 43; Syst. Nat. Ed. X, 

 p. 206. 



One specimen from Mus. Drottnh. It is a true Iguana 

 tuherculata Laur., and Lönnberg lias proved (1. cit., p. 9) that 

 Linngeus also meant this species in his description of Lacerta 

 iguana in Ämoen. acad., wherefore by rights he states the 

 Linnean specifie name iguana for this type, though he then 

 on phonetical grounds does not want to use the generic name 

 Iguana, given b}^ Laurenti, but takes instead of that the 

 Waglerian name HypsiJophus. As this latter name, however, 

 is younger, and as the rule is that duplicate names are not 

 reprovable the species ouglit to be called Iguana iguana (L.). 



Total length 595 mm.; length of the Vjody (to the vent) 152 ram. 



Lacerta marmorata. 



Linntens in Amoen. acad. Tom. I, N:o V, p. 129, N:o 15 and 

 N:o XI, p. 288. N:o 13; Mus. Ad. Frid. I, p. 43; Syst. Nat. Ed. X, 

 p. 208. 



Syn. in Boul. Cat. Liz. II, p. 98, Polychrus inarmoratus (L.) 



According to notes, made by Qnensel in his catalogue, 

 the Linnean type of this species was not to be found in the 

 museum in 1802 and has then probably never been there. 

 Two other specimens from the time of Quensel are true Fo- 

 lychrus marmoratus, and no doubt exists that this species 

 and Linn8eus's Lacerta marmorata are identical. 



Lacerta calotes. 



Linnaeus in Amoen. acad. Tom I, N:o XI. p. 289, N:o 15; Mus. 

 Ad. Frid. I, p. 44; Syst. Nat. Ed. X, p. 207. 



Syn. in Boul. Cat. Liz. I, p. 327, Calotes ophiomachus (Mere.). 



One specimen from Museum Drottningholmense. Lönn- 

 berg proves (1. cit. p. 15) the correctness of Boulenger's syno- 

 nyme as far as concerns the type from Amoen. acad., and I 

 am now able to state that Linn8eus's specimen, described in 

 Mus. Ad. Frid. I, also is a Calotes ophiomachus (Merr.), which 

 thus may be called Calotes calotes (L.). 



Total length 510 mm.: length of the body (to the vent) 112 mm.
