The small collection of Reptiles described in the present paper by 
myself and in a succeeding paper by Dr. Th. W. van Lidth db Jeude, 
I brought together in Sumatra, Java, Flores, Celebes and Saleyer. 
In the two first-named islands I did not direct much attention to 
these animals. In Celebes, Flores and Saleyer, however, I collected 
as many as I could obtain. 
Although the collection is a small one, it may be not without in- 
terest to give a complete list, as the collection contains some interesting 
new or rare specimens. 
Dr. V. Lidth de Jeude, who has been kind enough to prepare a 
list of the Ophidia, has found two new genera and some new species 
among them, even from places so often investigated as the neigh- 
bourhood of Padang and Buitenzorg (Java). 
Among the Sauria I rediscovered Lygosoma sanctum described by 
Duméril and Bibron from one single, badly preserved specimen from 
Buitenzorg, in the same place, which is the more curious as 
Buitenzorg has been so many times visited by naturalists. The 
occurrence of Lygosoma sanctum in Java is interesting as this Lygo- 
soma and Lygosoma malayanum from Sumatra are the only repre- 
sentatives of the group Hinulia , hitherto known from the large Sunda- 
Islands. 
Of more importance was the investigation of Flores. Although
