3. Report on a Collection of Reptiles and Batracliians sent 

 by Emin Pasha from Monbuttu, Upper Congo. By 

 Dr. A. GiJNTHER, F.R.S. 



[Eeceived January 10, 1888.] 

 The specimens, 27 in number, belong to the following species :— 



TORTOISES. 



1. Pelomedusa subrufa, Lac. 



LIZARDS. 



2. Varanus niloticus, L. — Two young specimens. 



3. Hemidactylus brookii. Gray. 



4. Lygodactyltjs gutturalis, Bocage. 



5. CnAMiELEON senegalensis, var. l^vigata, Gray. — Three 

 specimens. Although I adopt Mr. Boulenger's view that C. Icevigatus 

 of Gray should not be specifically distinguished from C. senegalensis, 

 still the former may be readily recognized by its conspicuously finer 

 granulation of the skin, and especially the smaller size of the scutella 

 of the side of the head. The type of C. leevigatus came from the 

 Soudan ; and the three specimens sent by Emin Pasha agree in the 

 characters mentioned with this geographically not very remote form 

 of Chamffileon. 



SNAKES. 



6. Typhlofs eschrichtii, Schleg. — Three specimens. 



7. Typhlofs liberiensis. Hallow. — Two specimens.
