XLVIII. — Notes on Reptiles and Frogs from Dominica^ West 

 Indies. By Dr. A. GiJNTHEE, F.R.S., Keeper of the 

 Department of Zoology, British Museum. 



T"WO small collections made in tlie island of Dominica by 

 Mr. Eamfige, a gentleman engaged by the West-Indies Ex- 

 ploration Committee, contain a very interesting series of the 

 reptiles and frogs of that island. Mr. Ramage has been 

 working in the island for a short period only, so that we may 

 expect further additions to this present list, which consists of 

 five species of lizards, three of snakes, and two of frogs. Of 

 particular interest would be observations on the mode of 

 propagation of the Hylodes.
