112 F. Stoliczka — Malayan Beptilia and Amphibia. [No. 2, 



Thus, although I cannot say, that I came into possession of a great 

 number of new forms, there are among those, which I shall place on 

 record, a few rare and very interesting species, some of which were previous- 

 ly known only from single specimens, and these often were not very perfect. 

 I may mention for instance Draco quinquefasciatus, Podophis chalcidcs, 

 Ophites suhcinctus and alhofuscus, Ahlahes Jlaviceps, Oocycalamus longiceps, 

 &c. 



I shall first enumerate all the species, and attach an (*) asterisk to 

 those, about which I shall have to say a few words. 



The collection was made, as I said, to a large extent on Penang itself 

 or in the Wellesley Province, and judging from the examination of it, I have 

 found no reason to doubt in any way this statement. A great many of the 

 same species had been collected by myself in that part of the country on a 

 former occasion, others were known to occur there from the very elaborate 

 and extensive researches of Dr. Cantor ; others again had been recorded from 

 Malacca, Singapore, Sumatra or Java, all countries which belong to the same 

 zoological province, and which have a large number of species common. I 

 have not met with a single instance which would lead me to suspect, that 

 any mixture of other distant localities had taken place. Thus the present 

 list in connection with that of Drs. Cantor, Gray and Giinther, and my own 

 published in 1870, may be considered as fairly completing the number of 

 Keptiles and Amphibians, inhabiting Penang and the neighbouring "Welles- 

 ley Province. Mr. Stahlknecht's specimens are from the neighbourhood of 

 Dilli on Sumatra. In the general list I shall briefly note the localities as 

 I*enang and Sumatra.
