Dr. Gunther in J. L. Brenchley^s ^Jottings during the Cruise

(London : 1873, 8vo, pp. 487. Reptiles, pj3. 395-407) . Al- 
though this work is published in 1873, we include it here to

New Caledonia. M. A. Bavay describes 2 Chelonians, 20 
Lizards, and 8 Snakes (Mem. Soc. L. Norm. xv. pp. 37). He

Museum by M. Guichenot ; but no part of the literature has been 
consulted ; consequently the majority have received new names.
