| The genus Cophotis was established by Peters for an Agamid from Ceylon and his species, Cophotis ceylanica, must be rare and very locally distributed in that island, according to Günther. The latter author gives a detailed description and an excellent figure of the animal in his Reptiles of British India. A specimen very closely allied to the Ceylon species has been forwarded to our Museum from Sumatra; it differs however in enough important respects from its Ceylonese namesake to permit a specific distinction. In order to facilitate a comparison the points of difference with Cophotis ceylanica are printed in italics. |

| Günther’s splendid monograph on the gigantic landtortoises, which appeared a few years ago, induced me to compare the specimens belonging to this group, which form part of the Leyden collections. Among these is the original specimen of Testudo indica vosmaeri Schoepff as it was first described and figured by this author in 1792 in his Historia Testudinorum (page 103, Pl. 22). Fitzinger, Duméril & Bibron and others have since introduced this species into science under the name of Testudo vosmaeri, without however being able to decide anything with certainty as to the locality where the species was to be sought for. Other authors such as Schlegel and Gray united all the gigantic landtortoises into one species to which the name of Testudo indica was... |

| In the above-mentioned note, published six months ago, several new species of Nemerteans were described and at the same time an attempt was made to a classification of the group, which should he in accordance with the results arrived at through the comparative study of a more extensive number of species and genera than had been at the disposal of any of my predecessors. I am indebted for this plentiful supply of working-material to the constant support of Prof. Ant. Dohrn and his assistants, and I feel especially obliged for their kindness in forwarding to me — either alive or in excellent state of preservation — further specimens for comparison or determination ever since my departure from Naples. |

| During a stay at Naples in the past winter, I became acquainted with a great number of Nemertini which had escaped my notice on a former occasion (1874), and of which I could have numerous specimens in different varieties thanks to the greatly improved methods of dredging and searching which are now practised in Prof. Dohrn’s splendid establishment. This enabled me to gain a better insight, not only in the anatomy of the group, but in the range of varieties, species and genera as well. The preliminary results of these researches are contained in the following pages. |

| Having completed the description of an unknown and interesting snake, three specimens of which form part of the collections in the Leyden Museum, Dr. Günther’s paper in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society, Part I, 1877: »On Reptiles from Duke-of-York-Island” came into my hands and I was convinced at a glance that the snake there described and figured under the name of Erebophis asper was the same as our specimens. I have little to add to the details already published by Dr. Günther, but I am able to give comparative notes respecting the young and the adult specimens of this species, and can indicate three new localities where this snake may be sought for. |

| A few years ago a new and interesting mammal, which is exceedingly rare, even in its native haunts, was brought to the then Resident of Palembang, Mr. A. Pruys van der Hoeven. This gentleman who is not only an eager sportsman, but also well-versed in natural history, recognised it to be new to science and to be more closely allied to certain representatives of the Edentata, than to any other order of mammals. — The type-specimen was held in captivity for several weeks, was fed on ants and afterwards on cooked rice and was sent alive to Europe in order to be examined, described and ultimately preserved in the Royal Museum at Leyden. It unfortunately died on board the vessel, on its way to Holland, and by an unaccountable blunder on the part of one of those... |

| In addition to the extensive collection of fishes which Mr. F. Day has brought home from India and which has furnished the material for his important and well-known standard works on the ichthyology of the Indian continent ¹) — the able counterparts of Bleeker’s Atlas of the Fishes from the Archipelago — this gentleman had occasion to bring together a small collection of reptiles and amphibians from the same region. The specimens being as a rule very well preserved and the exact locality of their capture carefully noted, it may perhaps be worth while to give a list of the specimens contained in the collection. Addition to our knowledge of the distribution of some of the species may thus be acquired. It must be noted that some few of the specimens were not... |

| In the August number of the »Monatsberichte der Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin”, for 1876, p. 533, Prof. Peters notices a specimen of what he calls: Liasis amethystinus, var. timoriensis, which was brought from Timor by the German man-of-war» Gazelle” on her cruise in the Indian and Australian seas. On the accompany ing plate he gives figures of the head and anal region of this species, together with corresponding drawings taken from a true Liasis amethystinus. Tlie above mentioned figures look different in many respects and I was surprised to find in our museum a snake, hitherto undescribed, which corresponds, as far as the configuration of the scales on its head goes, with Prof. Peters’ socalled Timorese variety of Liasis amethystinus. |

| The snake about to be described formed part of the collection which the late Dr. Bernstein brought together in the island of Salawatti. It must be regarded as the representative of a new and interesting genus, which takes its place between the existing genera Liasis and Nardoa. It differs from Nardoa in having pits not only on the inferior labials but on the rostral and upper labial plates as well, whereas it approaches this genus by the number and disposition of the shields on the head. The tail is rather long, the form of the animal is slender and graceful, the head less broad and at the same time longer and flatter than in most other Pythonidae. This as well as the small, smooth scales might characterize the genus; whereas the peculiar coloration and... |
