 L. viridis, Coelopeltis as Coluber wsculajm; the variety of Tropidonotus viperimis, 

 alluded to by Rozet, receives the name of var. aurolineatus, Gerv. ; a toad from Bona 

 is named Bufo arabicus, Riipp.; and the name Triton poireti is proposed for the

 Rana picta, and the new name Bufo mauritanicus is bestowed on the Moorish toad.

pp. 204, 205,
