856 MR. 8. 8S. FLOWER ON THE REPTILES AND [Dee. 1, 
back tine and a larger portion of the serrated palm: the left horn 
being of normal growth. 
Mr. Holding also exhibited a singular case of complete sym- 
metrical deformity in a pair of Roebuck’s horns. 
Mr. H. E. Dresser, at the request of Mr. Thos. Southwell of 
Norwich, exhibited a specimen of Pallas’s Willow-Warbler (Phy!- 
loscopus proregulus), which he believed to be the first example 
of this species recorded as having been obtained in Great Britain. 
It had been shot at Cley-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, by the son-in-law 
of Mr. H. N. Pashley, on the 31st October last, who at once 
informed Mr. Southwell that he had a new Warbler and promised 
to send it to him so soon as it was dry enough. Directly he 
received it Mr. Southwell forwarded it on to Mr. Dresser. The 
scrub at Cley, the spot where it was shot, was the place which had 
yielded so many rare migrants, the last of which was the Aquatic 
Warbler, and there also Mr. Pashley had obtained this specimen. 
Pallas’s Willow-Warbler, though it occurred annually on the 
western slopes of the Ural, had only hitherto with certainty been 
known to occur further west on the island of Heligoland, 
where one was obtained in October 1845, and another was said to 
have been seen, but not obtained, in October 1875. 
Mr. Giitke had proposed to separate the form breeding in Siberia 
from that breeding in the Himalayas, but Mr. Dresser, for reasons 
stated in his Supplement to the ‘ Birds of Hurope,’ p. 75, could 
not confirm this view. The present specimen, he remarked, agreed 
closely with an adult bird in his collection obtained at Kultuk, in 
Siberia, in the month of September.

1. Notes on a Collection of Reptiles and Batrachians made 
in the Malay Peninsula in 1895-96; with a List of the 
Species recorded from that Region. By Sranuey Suyru 
Frower, 5th Fusiliers.! 
[Received October 15, 1896.] 
(Plates XLIV.-XLVLI.) 
Since Dr. Cantor published his ‘ Catalogue of Reptiles inhabiting 
the Malayan Peninsula and Islands’ in 1847, no general list has 
appeared: in his Catalogue mention is made of 106 species of 
Reptiles and Batrachians ; in this paper 210 species are listed. Our 
knowledge of the herpetological fauna of Malaya since Cantor’s 
time has been added to principally in two valuable papers by 
Stoliczka in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (1870, 
vol, xxxix. part i. pp. 184-228, and 1873, vol. xli. part ii. pp. 111- 
126), and by collections received in the British Museum from
