29. Lygosoma CYANUfiujr, Less. 



Several specimens : Kema, Paloppo, Posso. 



Minahassa, Groroutalo, Tomini Bay {Meyer). Kandari (Beccan). 

 Luhu ( Weher). 



The specimen from Kandari, S.E. Celebes, referred to L. haudinii 

 by Peters and Doria, and which has been kindly sent to me for 

 inspection by Dr. Gestro, proves to belong to this species. 



30. Lygosoma abeocostatum, Less. 



Several specimens : Buol (N. Celebes), Paloppo (C. Celebes), and 

 south coast of N. Celebes, near Pagiiat and Malibagu.

This species was known from Hong Kong, Burma, Singapore, 

 and Borneo {L. tuhiteheadi, Mocquard). Two specimens were ob- 

 tained at Buol by the Drs. Sarasiu. One has 28 scales round the
