ocular. Black above, with a lateral and four dorsal white bands with strong 

 metallic gloss. The lateral band runs from the labials over the ear- 

 opening and above the fore limb to the hind limb. The median dorsal 

 band commences on the top of the snout and bifurcates between the 

 eye and the fore limb in two bands running to the tail. The two 

 lateral dorsal bands begin on the nostril and extend, above the eye, 

 to the tail. 



Tropidophorus. 



36. Tropidophorus grayi Günther. 



Central- Celebes : Luwu , 1 sp. 

 The genus Tropidophorus was only known from China, Indochina, 

 Philippine Islands and Borneo, especially Tropidophorus grayi only from the 

 Philippines and North-Celebes. The new locality is therefore zoogeographi- 

 caUy not without interest. The only difference between my specimen and 

 Boulengee's description is, that it has no azygos shield between the 

 frontonasals and the praefrontals. 



Dibamidae. 



Dibamus. 



37. Dibamus novae-guineae Dum. et Bibr. 



Central-Celebes : Luwu, 1 sp. 

 Sumatra: Singkarah, 1 sp. 

 Kaju tanam, 1 sp. 

 It is an interesting fact that this species, hitherto only known from 

 Celebes, the Molluccas and New Guinea , occurs also in Sumatra. The dif- 

 ferences of the two Sumatra-specimens from the descriptions of Dibamus 

 novae-guineae are so small, that I can not separate them from that species. 



CROCODILIDAE. 



Grocodilus. 



38. Crocodilus porosus Schneider. 



Java: Buitenzorg, skeleton (N°. 250). 



South- Celebes: Pampanua on the river Tjinrana, Cranium(N°. 618)61 

 cm. long , from a specimen found dead in the river. I observed also some 

 specimens in the river Lapa-Lupa near Tempe (South-Celebes), far in 

 the inland.
