 Dr. A. Donaldson Smith in Western Somali-land and 

 the Galla Country. By G. A. Boulenger, F.R.S. 



[Received June 11, 1895.] 

 (Plates XXIX. & XXX.) 



In the t'ollo\A'ing pages I have given a list of all the species of 

 Reptiles and Batrachians represented in the rich series entrusted 

 to me for identification. Types of the new species will be pre- 

 sented to the British Museum by Dr. Donaldson Smith. 



For an account of the route traversed by Dr. Donaldson Smith, 

 the reader is referred to his papers and maps in the ' Geographical 

 Journal,' iv. 1894, p. 528, and v. 1895, p. 124 : also to the 

 following papers for previous contributions dealing ^nth the 

 ReptUes of the region : —

I have not in every case been able to give the locality of the 

 specimens, as the labels are occasionally missing or only bear the 

 date. The collection formed prior to September is from Somah- 

 land proper, the rest from Galla, or Western Somali-land, of which 

 district a map is given on p. 125 of the ' Geographical Journal,' 

 vol. V. The localities are entered in conformity with those given 

 bv Dr. Bowdler Sharpe in his paper on the Birds (see ahove, 

 p. 457).
