1909.] AXD REPTILES OF MATABELELAXD. 591 



The Matabele names are given Avherever it has been possible to 

 ascertain them with certainty, but the natives are not so well 

 acquainted with the names of lizards and snakes as they are with 

 those of mammals and birds. In reading these, it must be 

 remembered that " c," " q," and " x " represent clicks, as in Zulu. 



Among the numerous donors of specimens to whom the Museum 

 is indebted, should be specially mentioned Messrs. R. Edge and 

 G. Dally for collections made in the vicinity of Bulawayo. 



I must express my warmest thanks to our Vice-President, 

 Mr. G. A. Boulenger, F.R.S., who has been good enough to 

 examine the collection and confirm or correct my determinations.
