3. Second Report on Collections of Indian Reptiles obtained 
by the British Museum. By Dr. Atserr GUNTHER, 
FR. VPs. 
[Received March 1, 1875.] 
(Plates XXX.-XXXIV.) 
The following notes are taken from specimens collected by Lieut.- 
Col. Beddome in Southern India, and by the late Dr. Jerdon in 
Northern India and the Himalayas. Besides descriptions of some 
new species, I have made some short remarks on others recently 
named and described—not with the object of correcting nomenclature, 
but rather with the view of inviting the authors of those species to 
reconsider the characters on which they have based them. The 
Batrachians will be treated of in a separate paper. 
Lieut.-Col. Beddome’s collection contained all the specimens ob- 
tained by him during his residence in India, more especially the types 
of the numerous interesting forms discovered and described by him. 
Perhaps there is now no other part of India the reptilian fauna of 
which is better known than the district explored by this indefatig- 
able collector. 
When Dr. Jerdon left India, he had the intention of publishing a
