>y kind permission of the Director of the Vertebrate De- 

 partment of the Royal Museum, Professor F. A. Smitt, I 

 have been able to continue the revision of the Linnean type- 

 specimens of the R. Museum, the first result of which appeared 

 in a paper: ACatalogue of Linnean Type-Specimens of Snakes 

 in the Eoi/al Museum in Stockholm^ in Bihang till K. Vet.- 

 Akad. Handl. Band 24. Afd. IV. N:o 6. 



In this paper I have now revised Linn8eus's Reptilia with the 

 genera Draco, Lacerta, Bana, and Testudo. As also the snakes 

 in the above mentioned paper, most of these specimens are from 

 Museum Adolphi Friderici regis et Lndovicce Ulricce regince 

 (Museum Drottningholmense) and are described by Linnseus 

 in the two parts of his work on this museum. For further 

 details about these collections I refer to my paper, mentioned 

 above and especially to the paper written by S. Loven: ^On 

 the species of Echinoidea described hy Linnceus in his ivork 

 »31useum Ludovicoi Ulric(Sy> in K. Vet.-Akad. Handl., Bihanget, 

 Band 13, Afdeln. IV. 1888. 



Linnseus has described in Museum Adolphi Friderici regis 

 Tom I, Stockholm 1754, 1 species Draco, 21 species Lacerta, 

 9 species Bana, and 2 species Testudo and in Museum Adolphi 

 Friderici regis Tom. LL, Prodromiis Stockholm 1764, 1 species 

 Testudo, 2 species Lacerta, and 2 species Bana, of which one 

 (Råna paradoxa) also is described in Mus. Ad. Frid. I. 



Of these the following types, described in Mus. Ad. 

 Fridr. 7, seem now to be missing: Lacerta principalis, L. 

 gecko, L. marmorata, and L. hispida. The two latter species 

 are not recorded by Quensel ^ in his catalogue of 1802, where- 



* Quensel was Director of the museum of the R. Academy of Science 

 from 1799 to IHOG and drew up in 1Ö02 a catalogue of the collections of the
