Creek has five to six interrupted black longitudinal lines 

 extending from the snout to the base of the tail. 



PYGOPODIDAE. 



Lialis burtonii, Gray. 



Only one specimen of this species was collected : it agrees 

 well with variety Ea of Boulenger. 



AG AMID AE. 



Amphibolurus reticulatus, Gray. 



The only specimen collected is immature and with an 

 incomplete tail. It has sixteen femoral pores, and agrees in 

 every other respect with the type. 



Amphibolurus pictus, Peters. 

 A male and female were collected at the Strzelecki Creek, 

 near Innamincka. They are both in nuptial colouration, agree- 

 ing well with the description and coloured illustration by 

 Lucas and Frost. n) The male has forty-two praeanal and 

 femoral pores. 



Amphibolurus barbatus, Cuvier. 



One immature specimen was collected at Cooper Creek 

 It was found on light-coloured sandhill country, which 

 accounts for its pale colouration. 



Tympanocryptis lineata, Peters. 



One of the fourteen specimens collected, agrees with 

 Peters' type, the others have the majority of the head and 

 body scales smooth and only a few scattered and enlarged 

 occipital and dorsal scales strongly mucronate and spinose ; 

 the scales of the limbs and tail are strongly keeled. These 

 specimens are referable to T. cfphahis, Giinther. Most of 

 them are more or less reddish, which harmonizes with the 

 colour of the ground where they occur. 



DlPOROPHORA AUSTRALIS, Steilld. 



An immature specimen was collected. The tail had been 

 torn off and one hindleg is missing. Apparently it had been 

 captured by a hawk. 



VARANIDAE. 



Varanus gouldii, Gray. 

 Four specimens were collected ; all are of typical structure 

 and markings.
