 This work affords but a meagre list of species, and the descriptions have but little 

 original value, being to a great extent compiled from the ' Erpetologie Generale.' And 

 sufficient care was not taken in recording the localities. The following species have 

 to be added to those which we have mentioned before : — 



1. Cistudo europoia, Schn. {^=Emys orbicularis, L.). 



2. Lacerta perspicillata, D. & B. — From Oran. 



3. Acanthodactylus vulgaris, D. & B. 



4. Bufo vulgaris, Laur. 



Vipera lebetina, L., is described as Echidna mauritanica, sp. n. ; Macroprotodon 

 cucullatus, Geoffr., as M. mauritanicus, sp. n. ; and Molge poireti, Gerv., as Euproctus 

 rusconii. Gene, and Triton nebulosus, sp. n.
