XVIII. — FAUNA SIMALURENSIS. REPTILIA 

 BY Dr. NELLY DE ROOIJ. (WITH 8 TEXTFIGURES). 



The collection of reptiles from Simalur, made by Mr. Edw. Jacobson 

 in 1913 is a very interesting one and consists of 35 species: Lacertilia 

 17, Chelonia and Crocodilia 2, Ophidia 16. Besides, some reptiles 

 were collected at Pulu Babi, at Pulu Si Laut (one of the Cocos Islands, 

 north off Simalur) and near Saibi on Siberut, one of the Mentawei Islands. 

 In none of these islands, reptiles have been collected previously. 



Publications about reptiles, collected in the other islands lying in a 

 long line west off Sumatra exist:
