TORTOISES 
1. Emys reevesti (Gray). Mountains north of the Kiu-kiang. 
The ornamental colours of the soft parts are distributed as follows :— 
They consist of yellow bands and spots, edged with black; the most con- 
spicuous is a band running from the upper part of the eye along the upper 
margin of the neck; sometimes it is interrupted in some part of its course, 
and generally a continuation of it is visible in front of the eye. A short 
curved band between the eye and the tympanum, another running from 
the lower part of the eye to below the tympanum ; an oblong spot at the 
posterior angle of the mandible. Tympanum and post-tympanic region 
with curved streaks and spots. Sides and lower part of the neck with 
parallel straight bands, posteriorly broken up into series of spots. In 
very young examples these ornamentations are less numerous. 
2. Trionyx sinensis (Wiegm.). Vicinity of Kiu-kiang. 
LIZARDS 
3. Tachydromus septentrionalis (Gthr.). Common in the mountains 
north of Kiu-kiang. 
4, Tachydromus woltert (Fisch.). Much scarcer.
