BY 



Dr. NELLY DE ROOY. 



The reptiles collected by de Dutch Expéditions to South- West New Guinea during the 

 years 1904, 1907, 1909 and 1912 could be studied by me; this article deals with the above- 

 mentioned groups, vvhereas Dr. v. Lidth de Jeude published a descriptive list of the snakes 

 (Nova Guinea Vol. IX, 1914, p. 265 — 287). The collection contains 45 species, 2 of thèse are new 

 to science and hâve been described in : Reptiles of the Indo-Australian Archipelago I. 191 5, a work 

 about the reptiles occurring in the islands of the Dutch Indian Archipelago. In order to complète 

 the présent article a full description not only of the new species is given again together with 

 a figure, but also of some rare species. After the systematical part a list of ail the species 

 collected by the différent Dutch Expéditions is given in addition to one about the same groups 

 captured during the Expédition to the North Coast.
