cinereus, is, however, doubtful. Beside the two above-men- 
tioned the following are now missing: Boa Hipnale, Coluber 
vittatus, OC. natriz, C. agilis, CO. buccatus, C. exoletus, O. scaber, 
C. coerulescens, OC. hortulanus, C. viridissimus, Orotalus horri- 
dus, Anguis Meleagris, A. Jaculus, and A. laticaudatus. From 
the Museum DE GEER all types remain. 
In addition to the 55 Linnean types from Mus. Ad. Frid., 
mentioned above, two others Coluber Constrictor and Coluber 
Cerastes may be stated. The former is not mentioned in 
Mus. Ad. Frid., the latter is spoken of by LINNZEUS as a by 
art deformed specimen of another species. 
It is possible that of the types mentioned as missing 
some may still exist in the R. Mus., though the characteri- 
stic labels are lost. This being the case, I dare not pro- 
nounce the specimens to be Linnean types, if LInNAus does 
not give in his descriptions anything characteristic of the 
specimens. In such cases, however, I have considered myself 
able to identify without any doubt the specimens as LIN- 
N2US's, though the labels were missing. 
As is to be expected from LINNAUs's usually clear de- 
scriptions, which are also furnished with good figures, his 
types have in general been correctly identified by the her- 
petologists. Some specimens, however, have been wrongly 
Judged, and there is a number of his types which the authors 
have not been able to identify at all.
