Five Snakes sent are CYLINDROPHIS RUFA, (Schn.), Lycopon 
AuLIcUS, Dipsas CYNODON, ‘l'ROPIDONOTUS UMBRATUS, and TrR- 
adult (as in CyCLEMYS DENTATA and sundry others). It would appear to exhibit 
a near resemblance, at first sight, to the American T, Tapunata. (Vide Gray, 
loc. cit. 
Of fet this is the species referred to as T. ELonGaTA, Gray (!) from Cam- 
boja, in P. Z. S. 1861, p.139, (as well, however, may Dr. J. E. Gray refer to 
Homo sapiens, Gray, or Kquus caBaLuus, Gray! I claim the honour—such as 
it is of having named the three fine Indo-Chinese species of TEsTUDO, as yet 
discovered. Palmam qui meruwit ferat).

The marine species of the Bay, including Cuirra InpiIcA, Gray, (Gymnopus 
lineatus, D. and B.), are sufficiently well known, and are given in the late Dr. 
Cantor’s Catalogue of Malayan reptiles, J. A. S. XVI, pp. 616 to 620. To the 
list of them, however, Major Tickell has just added SpHaNdJIs CoRIACEA, (L.) 
All of the fourteen species enumerated are illustrated by one or more speci- 
mens in the Society’s museum; and most of them by a series of successive ages, 
from youth to maturity. 
It is worthy of remark that of three species extremely common in Lower 
Bengal, viz. GrocheMys Hamittronit, Emys THourusit, and Baragtur TECTUM, 
and a fourth which has not hitherto been observed elsewhere, viz. B. ocELLATUS, 
(D. and B.), not one appears to inhabit the Burmese countries, so far as hitherto 
ascertained. ‘They appear rather to be peculiar to the gangetic river-shed, with 
perhaps also the Brahmaputran ; but even the latter is doubtful so far as I nave 
been able to learn. 
In the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for 1861, p. 139-40, Dr. Gray 
gives a list of some reptiles received from Camboja; in which the following
