Edm. de Selys Longchamps Faune Beige, 1*® partie ; Indi- 
cation Methodique des Mainmiferes, Oiseaux, Eeptiles, et 
Poissons, observes jusqu’ici en Belgique. Liege, 1842. 
Reptilia, p. 169 to 182. The species are not described, the remarks 
being confined to notices of their occurrence and varieties. Among the 
twenty-three species, are one Tortoise, four Lizards, five Snakes, and 
thirteen Batrachians, eight without, and five with tails. Eight of these 
twenty-three species are found in almost all parts of the country, twelve 
in particular localities, and the occurrence of three within the Belgian 
bounds is not sufficiently determined. There are plates of Triton pal- 
matus 2 iXidi punctatus, male and female. 
In the Fauna Caspio-Caucasia, von Eichwald, Petersburg, 
1841, — the section on Reptilia occupies from p. 44 to 128 ; 
plates 3 to 31 belong to it. 
Three Tortoises are mentioned: — Clemmys caspica, Wagl. ; Emys 
ewropcea, abundant in the rivers which discharge themselves into the 
Caspian Sea ; Testudo ibera, Pall.

to that of Europe. Psammosaiirus caspicus, Eichw. ; Lacerta ocellata,
