Stejneger, in his work on Japanese reptiles, appears to have 

 agreed with Boulenger in regard to the status of the Rhipto- 

 glossi as a suborder. Stejneger 's accepted names for the two 

 other suborders are Sauria and Serpentes, instead of Lacertilia 

 and Ophidia of Boulenger, both of which are older names and 

 synonymous with those used by Boulenger. No matter which of 

 these systems is followed, the position and the terminology of 

 the various families found in the Philippines remain unchanged, 

 as they are identical in all. Stejneger's arrangement of the 

 higher groups is here followed.
