This collection contains 29 species, two of which had not 

 been recorded previously, from Central Australia. The Horn 

 Scientific Expedition recorded 41 species. The nomenclature 

 is taken from the "Census of Australian Lizards," by A. H. S. 

 Lucas, M.A., B.Sc, and C. Frost, F.L.S., in the Report of the 

 eighth meeting of the Australasian Association for the Ad- 

 vancement of Science, held at Melbourne, Victoria, 1900, p. 

 256. Captain White's field-notes are enclosed in brackets 

 after each species to which they refer.
