18. Lycopon AvLicus. 
19. L. srrrarus. ‘Two specimens sent, one 11 inches long, the other 
92. Major St. John notices that these snakes had no yellow coloration, 
and suggests that the tint may be seasonal, His examples were procured 
early in April. 
*20. PyrHon monurus. This, as already remarked, is an unexpect- 
ed addition to the fauna of Rajputana. The specimen obtained by Major 
St. John was 10 feet long, and was captured in bush jungle near the Pokur 
lake among low hills on the edge of the desert. 
21. Eryx Jonni.

XV.— Notes on Reptiliaa—By W. T. BuanForp, F. BR. 8., &e. 
(Received and read 6th August, 1879.) 
In the course of the last few years I have received small collections of 
reptiles from several friends in different parts of India and Burma, and I 
have collected some myself in Sind and its neighbourhood, and in Darijiling. 
Although, with the exception of one snake (Homalopside) described below, 
none appear to be absolutely new, there are a few calling for remark on 
account of rarity, variation, or from the locality being previously unknown. 
I have thrown together these somewhat desultory notes in the following 
pages. 
LACERTILIA. 
MEsanina GuTTULATA (olim PARDALIS). 
Dr. Peters informs me that the species identified with Lacerta pardalis 
of Lichtenstein by Dumeril and Bibron (Hrp. Gen. V, p. 312) and by 
Gray (Cat. Liz. Brit. Mus. 1845, p. 43) is not Lichtenstein’s species, but 
that it is his Z. guttulata. I believe the original types of Lichtenstein 
are in the Berlin Museum and have been examined by Dr. Peters. 
The species abounds in the countries west of India ( ‘ Hustern Persia,’ 
II, p. 377), and was described from Sind by Dr. Stoliczka, who supposed it to 
be a new species which he called Hremias (Mesalina) Watsonana (P. A.S. B., 
1872, p. 86; see also J. A. S. B., 1876, Pt. 2, p. 26). I have since found 
it as far to the eastward as Jaisalmir.
