At the request of my friend Dr L. A. Jagerskiold, I have 

 determined the collection of reptiles and batraehians brought home 

 by his expedition to Egypt, the Sudan and the Sinaitie Peninsula; 

 a list of the species found will here be given. Notes concerning 

 the appearance of the specimens and the distribution of the 

 species have only been made when some differences from the 

 descriptions in Boulenger's Catalogues or in John Anderson's 

 Monography of the reptiles and batraehians of Egypt have been 

 found in the respects mentioned. A new batrachian form (a 

 Phrynobatrachus) has been described; but as some of the spe- 

 cies described as belonging to this genus are only known by 

 means of isolated specimens and as the whole genus is conse- 

 quently not sufficiently cleared up, I have not considered it 

 worth while to describe it as a new species but have given 

 it as a variety of the old species Phr. natalensis, from which it 

 ought perhaps to be separated. A couple of scarce serpents 

 Chlorophis emini and Philothamnus semivariegatus which have 

 hitherto — to my knowledge — only been found considerably 

 much farther to the south, have been discovered by the expedi- 

 tion at Khartoum.
