[KeceiTect September 21, 1880,] 
(Plates XX. & XXL) 
Through the kindness of Dr. N. B. Bennys, I have had an oppor- 
tunity of examining a collection of Reptiles and Frogs made at Singa- 
pore, and bclotiging to the Raffles Museum at that port. The 
majority of the specimens were collected in the island of Singapore; 
but a few are from other localities ; and in the case of some of the 
Lizards and Frogs, I am not quite certain whence they were ori- 
ginally obtained. Of all the Snakes (and these form the bulk of the 
collection) the localities are appended. The number of new species 
is small. It is evident that the Lizards and Frogs are but imper- 
fectly represented ; but the Snakes probably comprise, as 1 l&aro 
from Dr. Dennys, nearly all the forms occurring at Singapore. 
The following is a list of the species ; those on which remarks are 
added are distinguished by an asterisk (*). The nomenclature is 
in most cases that employed by Dr. Gunther in the ' Reptiles of 
British India.*
