 destum Dumeril and Bibron) p. 503; Leptophis vertebralis ( = ?) p. 

 543. Leptophis vertebralis, if from the Philippines is probably a 

 species of Matrix. Their specimen of Cavipylodon prevostianum, p. 

 904, probably originated in southern India and not in Manila.*

Hydrojjhis semperi is described as a new species from "Lake Taal, 

 Luzon Island, Philippines" from a specimen collected by Dr. Carl 

 Semper. Boulenger recognizes this as a distinct species.

This paper lists 87 reptiles and 10 amphibians. Pages 30 to 34 

 give a list of 51 Philippine snakes in the Museo de Ciencias Naturales 

 de Madrid. Fourteen of these are referred only to the genera. A 

 species is referred to the genus Aspidura from Angat, Bulacan. This 

 is an error, as the genus is confined to Ceylon. Another species is 

 referred to Oxybelis, a genus confined to South America. The fol- 

 lowing species if correctly identified probably did not originate in 

 the Philippines: Calamaria vermiformis Dumeril and Bibron; Cory- 

 phodon korros Reinwardt; Tragops nasutus Wagler; Dipsas drapiezii 

 Dumeril and Bibron; and Hydrophis schistosus Daudin. The list is 

 obviously rather untrustworthy.
