Colonel A. 0. Bailward, with Mr. R. B. Woosnam, m 1905, 

 secured many specimens in adjacent country between Ahwaz and 

 Ispahan on their journey to Armenia, but they kept well to the 

 north of Shiraz (P. Z. S., 1905, p. 519, Thomas). A subsequent 

 journey in 1907 was confined to the district between the South 

 Coast of the Caspian and Teheran (A. M. N. H. 7, xx, p. 196, 

 Thomas). As these somewhat scattered references have come 

 under review during the writing of this paper, the various Shiraz 

 species mentioned in them have been included, for the sake of con- 

 centration, so that this paper and Blanford's " Eastern Persia," 

 Vol. II, should comprise the complete list up to date. 



The present nomenclature is used, the original names when 

 different are given in brackets.
