During his stay in Laboean (Delili, East-Sumatra) Dr. B. Hagen, to whom the Leyden Museum is indebted for large series of mammals, birds and insects, also collected a large number of snakes, the greater part of which were sent to our Museum. Dr. Hagen took a lively interest in snakes, and being convinced of the benefit a colonist might derive from the knowledge of the venomous snakes, living in his neighbourhood, he gave some years ago a description of those dangerous animals and their habits in the »Dehli-Courant”. As some of his statements were unknown to me and may perhaps be generally unknown , I shall take the liberty to mention these facts in this note, a newspaper as the Dehli-Courant being not likely to be consulted in matters of herpetology.... |

In the » Verhaudlungen tier k. k. zoologisch-botanischen Gesellschaft in Wien” (Jahrg. 1863) Dr. Steindachner describes 3 monstrous beads of carps, presented to the Museum of Vienna, and suggests that these monstrosities could not be the results of some former wound, but that the deformity was caused by the pathological state of some part of the skull. In Isid. Geoffroy St. Hilaire’s interesting researches on teratology¹) we see on plate 1 (fig. 4, 5 and 6) three drawings of carp-heads, that bear a great resemblance to the figures of Dr. Steindachner’s. According to the author these anomalies are not very rare in France, at those places where carps are cultivated in ponds; and Otto ²) also states the appearance of such monstrosities in Silesia. |

On the 13th of Dec. 1889 a great Sun-fish was washed ashore at Ameland. Through kind intervention of the mayor of the island, D. W. J. baron van Heeckeren , the gigantic fish was sent up to the Leyden Museum, where it arrived a few days afterwards in a satisfactory state. As far as I know of, it is one of the largest specimens of Ortliragoriscus. The dimensions are as follows: Distance from the tip of the mouth to the extremity of the tail M. 2.23 Distance from the root of the dorsal fin to the root of the anal fin, measured at the anterior part of the fins M. 1.40 Distance from the root of the dorsal fin to the root of the anal fin, measured at the posterior part of the fins M. 1.12 Distance from the top of the dorsal fin to the top of the anal fin M.... |

Through the kind offices of my friend Mr. M. Breuning, chief-engineer of the Dutch-South-African Railway-Company, the Leyden Museum was enriched with a small collection of Reptiles. Dr. Helkenberg, who collected these animals at the confluence of the Comati- and the Crocodile-river, about 90 KM. inland of Lorenço Marques and 200 M. above the level of the sea, and who afterwards presented them to our Museum, has a claim to our gratitude, as 11 species of the 23 collected ones were desiderata to our collections. In the following list I add an asterisk before the names of the species that were not untill now represented in our collections. |

On arranging the tortoises of the genus Testudo in the collections of the Leyden Museum I met with a mounted specimen, collected at the Cape of Good Hope by the late Kuhl and van Hasselt, which though having much in common with Testudo geometrica L., yet in other points differs from that species and shows more resemblance with Testudo elegans Schoepf. In the absence of the nuchal shield as well as in the peculiar form of its gular shields our specimen differs from the South-African species of the genus Testudo allied to Testudo geometrica ¹) and must be regarded as to belong to a new species: Testudo Strauchi nov. spec. Carapace very convex, the dorsal shields, especially the third one, swollen and subconical, lateral marginals nearly vertical not forming... |

On the following pages I give a list of the snakes collected by Mr. Edw. Jacobson, during various excursions, which he made in the Padang Highlands and in the country of Korintji. Mr. Jacobson, to whom the Leiden Museum is already indebted for many valuable collections of East-Indian animals, kindly presented these snakes to our Museum. The collection though not a large one is a very valuable one, and proves the importance of a careful investigation of the fauna of CentralSumatra. Of the 36 species, 2 species and one variety are new to science, viz. Pseudoxenodon Jacobsonii, Calamaria crassa, and Simotes annulifer Blgr. var. annulata. Moreover the collection contains a specimen of Anomalochilus weberi Lidth, which is, as far as I know of, the second known... |

In volume XII of this periodical I described a large specimen of Orthragoriscus captured on our coast at Ameland in Dec. 1889, and called attention to the differences in the various descriptions to be found of this species of fishes. In the end of November of last year another specimen was washed ashore at Callantsoog on our coast and was, trough the kindness of Dr. P. P. C. Hoek director of the Zoölogical Station at Nieuwediep, presented to the Leyden Museum. Though a large one this specimen is not so gigantic as our former one. The dimensions are as follows: Distance from tip of snout to extremity of tail. M 1.23 Distance from root of dorsal fin to root of anal fin, measured at their anterior side . . . . M 0.76 Distance from root of dorsal fin to root... |

In the beginning of this year Mr. R. C. Keun, formerly Consul of the Netherlands at the empire of Siam, presented the Leyden Museum with a small collection of Reptiles from the neighbourhood of Bangkok. As Mr. Keun, because of ill-health, resigned his honourable employment, he will not be in a position again to add other Siamese specimens to those we have already received, and it is therefore that I give a list of this valuable collection, the more valuable as the Reptiles of the Indian continent are very poorly represented in our Museum, those of Mr. Day’s precious collection ¹) being almost our sole representatives of the Indian herpetological fauna. In making up this list I follow the nomenclature and the arrangement adopted by Mr. G. A. Boulenger in... |

Some months ago a collection of Reptiles from Nias was presented to our Museum by Mr. J. D. Pasteur. The collection, though not a very large one, is of much importance to our Museum as up to this date no Reptiles from Nias were found in our collections. The Erpetology of the isle of Nias has already formed the subject of three papers, viz.: 1° a paper by the late Dr. J. G. Fischer 1), 2° a list published by Mr. G. A. Boulenger 2) and 3° Mr. E. Modigliani’s paper on the Fauna erpetologica of the isle of Nias 3). To the enumeration and the description of the Reptiles collected by Mr. Modigliani himself he adds a list of all the Reptiles of the isle of Nias mentioned by Fischer and Boulenger as well as by himself. This list contains 43 species and though our... |

In 1840 ¹) Schlegel and Sal. Müller described in number 2 of the zoological part of » Verhandelingen over de natuurlijke geschiedenis der Nederlandsche Overzeesche Bezittingen” a new species of Testudo, which differed from the other species of this genus by its broad, slightly elevated shell, and by the extra-ordinary large scales, which cover the outer parts of the forefeet, the heel of the hind feet and the parts between the hind legs and the tail. In their description of this species, which they named Testudo emys, they mention the presence of 25 marginal shields, among which one nuchal shield, of a moderate size, the posterior part of which is broad and straight-lined. The two posterior marginals (the caudals) are strongly bent downwards. Moreover they... |

In the end of December 1894 a living specimen of Thalassochelys caretta L. was captured near the village of Ouddorp on the island of Overflakkee. Though this species is an inhabitant of the tropical and subtropical seas, living also in the Mediterranean, it is an accidental visitor of the North. Mr. Edm. de Selys-Longchamps, speaking about Chelonia caretta, mentions: »Elle a été pêchée deux fois à Blankenberg sur la côte de Flandre, mais elle ne s’y trouve que très-aecidentellement” ¹). Fuller information as to the date of capture, or the sex and the dimensions of the captured animals is wanting. According to P. J. van Beneden two Chelonidae were captured in November and May 1859 by fishermen of Ostende ²). |

In the beginning of this year our herpetological collection was enriched with a specimen of the gigantic landtortoises from the Galapagos-islands. The specimen, a male one, directly struck me by the peculiar arrangement of the pectoral shields, which have a triangular form, and do not meet in the middle of the plastron. On further information as to the exact locality where our tortoise was captured, I learned from Prof. Giglioli, to whom the specimen had formerly belonged, that it was captured by the captain of an Italian merchant-vessel in 1884 on the island of Duncan, together with a similar but smaller male specimen, which was still in the Florence Museum. |

Rostral slightly broader than long scarcely visible from above; internasals much shorter than the praefrontals, latter entering the eye; frontal hexagonal, more long than broad, nearly twice as long as its distance from the tip of the snout, a little shorter than the parietals; supraocular nearly half as broad as the frontal; loreal much longer than deep, entering the eye; no praeocular; 7 supralabials, 3rd and 4th entering the eye; one large praeocular; 1st and 2nd infralabial in contact with an azygos chinshield, this shield is in contact with the symphysial, much broader than long and is followed by 3 pairs of chinshields, all broader than long; temporals 2 + 2 + 2.

On Dec. 8th 1888 a large fish was washed ashore near Scheveningen, and was captured by two fishermen, who brought it to the Leyden Museum. They told us nobody in Scheveningen ever saw such a fish, and were very much surprised as we showed them a stuffed specimen of Lampris luna, captured at Noordwijk in 1840, which specimen resembled the fish they captured in all points, being only somewhat smaller. Now it is a matter of truth that Lampris luna very seldom makes its appearance on our coast. As far as I can make out this is the 5th specimen captured on the dutch coast during this century. |

The study of the fauna of the Timor group is one of the most interesting subjects of zoogeography, the islands of this group having their own peculiar inhabitants besides a great many species which they have in common with Java and still other species that are strictly Australian forms. Wallace already in his „Malay Archipelago” drew attention to this fact, and stated that with regard to the birds 47 species ought to be regarded as being derived from Java, whilst 48 species originated from Australia. With regard to the Papilionidae Wallace mentions 4 species peculiar to Timor, 3 also found in Java and one Australian form. Every contribution to our knowledge of this interesting fauna can claim the attention of all zoologists concerned in zoogeography, and I... |

During the last years the interior of Surinam was explored by several little expeditions. Though topographic research was the maiu purpose of these expeditions, still biology profited by them, as in most cases the physician accompanying the expedition was charged with collecting. Dr. H. van Cappelle, who organized the first of these expeditions, explored the neighbourhood of the river Nickeri and its right tributary, the Fallawatra, in the last half of the year 1900, and penetrated as far as the mountains forming the watershed between Nickeri and Coppename. Being a geologist, he himself took care of the zoological department. |
