4. On the Reptiles, Batrachians, and Fishes collected by the 

 late Mr. John Whitehead in the Interior o£ Hainan. 

 By G. A. BouLENGERj F.R.S. 



[Eeceived October 31, 1899.] 

 (Plates LXYI.-LXIX.) 



During his short stay in Hainan, where he died on June 2 of 

 the present year, Mr. .John Whitehead had succeeded in collecting 

 a small number of cold-blooded vertebrates in the Five-finger- 

 Mountains, in the interior of the island. The fact that so many of 

 the few species represented in the collection are new, tends to 

 show how rich a harvest these unexplored mountains would have 

 yielded but for the fatal chmate which has deprived the zoological 

 world of one of its most enthusiastic and successful members.
