Malay Penhisida Reptiles. — In the Proceedings of this Society 

 for 1896, pp. 856-914, there appeared a paper giving an account 

 of the Reptiles and Batrachians that I had collected in the Malay 

 Peninsula from March 1895 to April 1896, and a list of the 

 species recorded from that neighbourhood by Cantor, StoUczka, and 

 others. That list included 176 species of Eeptiles, of which 9, 

 viz., Dermochelys coriacea, Hardella thurgi, Cyclemys dhor, Trojji- 

 donotus subminiatus, Macroccdamus lateralis, Hypsirhina indica, 

 Hydrophis nigrocinctus, Aipysuriis edyouxi, and Amhlyceplialus 

 Irevis were of doubtful occurrence in the region. In the present 

 list 3 of the doubtful species are recorded for certain, viz., 

 Dermochelys coriacea, Macrocalamus lateralis, and Aipysurvs eydouon : 

 9 more species are added, viz., Geoemyda grandis, Testudo elongafa, 

 Oi/nuiodactylus marmoratus, Mahuia ruc/ifera, Lygosoma maculatum, 

 Zaocys fuscus, Coluber tceniurus, Hypsirhina bocourtii, and 

 Hydrophis gracilis ; Gonatodes penangensis becomes a synonym 

 of G. ajinis ; and the names of Hemidactyliis gleadovii and 

 Lygosoma jerdonianum are changed to B. brookii andX. atrocostatuin 

 respectively : thus making a total of 184 species. 



Only one genus, Macrocalamus, is peculiar to the Peninsula, 

 and 6 species, viz., Gonatodes affinis, Lygosoma singaporense, 

 Cylindrophis lineatus, Macrocalanms lateralifi, Calamaria alhivrnter, 

 and Hypsirhina indica.
