TOKTOISES 



1. Einys reevesii (Gray). Mountains north of the Kiu-kiang. 



The ornamental colours of the soft parts are distributed as follows : — 

 They consist of yellow bands and spots, edged with black ; the most con- 

 spicuous is a band running from the upper part of the eye along the upper 

 margin of the neck ; sometimes it is interrupted in some part of its course, 

 and generally a continuation of it is visible in front of the eye. A short 

 curved band between the eye and the tympanum, another rmming from 

 the lower part of the eye to below the tympanum ; an oblong spot at the 

 posterior angle of the mandible. Tympanum and post-tympanic region 

 with curved streaks and spots. Sides and lower part of the neck with 

 parallel straight bands, posteriorly broken up into series of spots. In 

 very yoimg examples these ornamentations are less numerous. 



2. Trionyx sinensis (Wiegm.). Vicinity of Kiu-kiang. 



LIZAEDS 



3. Tachydromus septentrionalis (Gthr.). Common in the mountains
