he [Schweigger] had based the distinction between 

 this species \_Ch. lacertina\ considered new by him, 

 and that which he described nnder the name of 

 Ch. serpentina." 



Therefore, if there be two forms of Snapping 

 Turtles, their names would be Chelydra serpentina 

 serpentina (Linnreus) and Chelydra serpentina 

 laccrtina (Schweigger):

NOTE ON HAWAIIAN GECKOS 



During April, 1913, Dr. Henry A. Pilsbry 

 secured two interesting geckos while visiting the 

 Hawaiian Islands. As any additional information 

 to Dr. Stejneger's account of the " Hawaiian 

 Land Reptiles" (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXI, 

 1899, pp. 783-813) is desirable, I give the following- 

 records : 

 Per opus mutilatus (Wieginann). 



Obtained on the island of Kahoolawe, from which it 

 has not previously been reported. 



Hemidactylus garnotii Dumeril and Bibron. 



One secured at Moomouii, on the island of Molokai. 



Lepidodactylus lugubris (Dumeril and Bibron). 



An old example, collected by J. K. Townsend many 

 years ago. is interesting as likely being the first 

 Hawaiian gecko in any museum, especially American. 

 It is still in good preservation. Though labeled 

 simply •• Sandwich Islands," it was probably secured 

 on Oahu. The original label also shows that it was 

 confused with the preceding species.
