16 LIZARDS OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 



(Peters), from Samar and Leyte; Sphenomorphus acutus 

 (Peters), from Samar; and Euprepes bitxniatus Peters. The 

 last species is now regarded as a synonym of Emoia atrocostatum 

 (Lesson). The collection of snakes made by Jagor was very 

 much more important than that of lizards. 



The third important collection is that obtained during 1858 to 

 1866 by Dr. Karl Semper, who came to the Islands for the first 

 time in 1858. From 1859 to 1861 he traveled through the Phil- 

 ippine Archipelago, in 1862 he was in the Pelew Islands, in 1863 

 in Bohol, and during 1864 in Mindanao. He returned to Europe 

 in 1866, and the lizard collections were reported upon by Peters 

 in 1867. In the collection the following types are found: 



Lepidodactylus labialis (Peters) ; Mindanao. 



Draco reticulatus cyanopterus Peters; Mindanao. 



Gonyocephalus semperi (Peters) ; "Philippines." 



Sphenomorphus vaHegatus (Peters) ; Mindanao. 



Leiolopisma semperi (Peters) ; Mindanao. 



Siaphos quadrivittatum (Peters) ; Mindanao. 



Dasia semdcincta Peters; Mindanao. 

 Besides these seven new species, he discovered a specimen of 

 w^hat is probably Calotes marmoratus (Gray), which Peters made 

 the type of a new species, Calotes philippinus. 



The next collection of importance was that of Dr. Adolph B. 

 Meyer, 1870 to 1873. A number of important specimens were 

 taken, some of which apparently were sent to Berlin, while others 

 found their way into the British Museum. The type of Tropido- 

 •phorus leucospilos (Peters), Luzon, and specimens of other 

 known species were obtained. 



Mr. A. H. Everett, the noted English traveler-naturalist, col- 

 lected widely throughout the Archipelago. His saurian collec- 

 tions were sent to the British Museum; they contained the 

 following species: 



Draco guentheri Boulenger; Philippines. Type. 

 Draco everetti Boulenger; Mindanao and Dinagat. Type. 

 Gymnodactylus philippinicus Steindachner; Dinagat. 

 Hemidactylus frenatus Dumeril and Bibron; Palawan. 

 Cosymbotus platyurus (Schneider) ; Dinagat. 

 ^ Draco volans Linnaeus; Palawan. 

 Draco ornatus (Gray) ; Dinagat. 

 Draco spilopterus (Wiegmann) ; "S. Negros." 

 Draco bimaculatus Giinther; Dinagat. 

 Calotes cristatellus (Kuhl) ; Palawan. 

 Varanus nuchalis (Giinther) ; **S. Negros." 

 Varanus cumingi Martin; Mindanao. 

 Varanus salvator (Laurenti) ; Palawan. 

 Sphenomorphus acutus (Peters) ; Dinagat. 

 Otosaurus cumingii Gray; Dinagat.
