4 L. G. ANDERSSON, CATAL. OF LINNEAN TYPE-SPECIMENS OF REPTILIA. 



fore they probably never came to the museum among the col- 

 lections from Museum Drottningholmense. Possibly the types 

 of Råna Bufo and Testudo atra are also löst. Of the types 

 in 3Ius. Ad. Frid. II Testudo serpentina and Lacerta stellio 

 are missing, besides which it is very doubtful whether Lin- 

 n8eus's type of Lacerta umbra at present is to be found in 

 the R. Museum. 



There are also in the R. Museum some other Linnean 

 types, described only in Systema naturfe, viz. Testudo denti- 

 culata from Mus. de Greer (See L. Gr. Andersson loc. cit. p. 3), 

 Lacerta scincus, and possibly also the type of Linn8eus's Bana 

 typhonia. 



Beside these Linnean types I want to mention four other 

 old types, which are also kept in the Royal Museum. They 

 are Lacerta bimaculata Sparrman, Lacerta sputator Sparrmajst, 

 Lacerta Geifje Sparrman, and Lacerta amboinensis Schlosser.

In the Royal Museum there are at present two specimens 

 in different jars with the usual Drottningholm labels, marked 

 Draco volans. They are both true specimens (males) of this 

 Linnean species.

R. Museum soon after the arrival of the collections from Drottningholm. 

 By this catalogue I have considered myself able to indentify several speci- 

 mens as being Linnean types, although their characteristic Drottningholm 

 labels are löst. There is also a catalogue of these collections written by O. 

 SwARTZ in 1808, QuenseFs successor, who had been before commissioned to 

 take charge of the collections at Drottningholm, but this seems only to be 

 a copy of the Quensel one.
