4. From Dr. Kelaart, of the Ceylon Medical Service, several 

 packages have been received, which have greatly enriched our col- 

 lections. 



Of mammalia, we are indebted to him for skins, skulls, &c. of 

 Presbytis priamus, and skins of Pr. ursinus (J. A. S. XX, 155), 

 young, and skin of Pr. cephalopterus, almost white (Pr. albinus, 

 Kelaart, J. A. S. XX, 182) ; Lemur catta, L. ; and numerous speci- 

 mens of Bats, as follow : — 



* Certain of the snakes in this collection would appear to be undescribed, for 

 we have been unable to make them out from M. Schlegel's work, and they are 

 neither noticed in Dr. Harlan's " catalogue of North American Reptiliae," published 

 in the "Journal of the Philadelphia Academy," Vol. V., nor among the u extra- 

 limitals" enumerated in Dekay's " Natural History of New York."
