| 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. |

| His Excellency, the present Governor General of Dutch India J. W. van Lansberge, Bart. L. L. D. by repeatedly authorizing exploring expeditions into different parts of the Indian Archipelago has given a glorious example how to promote a science which he cultivates himself most ardently. Mr. J. E. Teysmann honorary Inspector of the cultures at Buitenzorg in the isle of Java, put at the head of the expedition, was accompanied by a certain number of hunters for the purpose of collecting and preparing zoological objects. During a visit in the district of Macassar in the southern part of Celebes, the party met with the undiscribed species of heron, the epithet of which will serve to remember the name of one of the few high... |

| The typical specimen of this new species, was obtained by Mr. Audebert, on the tenth of June 1878, in the neighborhood of Ambodikilo near Mananare a place on the Southwestern shore of the bay of Antongil. Our traveller states that this was the only example of the species which he met with during a course of two years in the North-Eastern parts of Madagascar, a fact leading to the conclusion that this species is much less generally distributed in the country mentioned than its congener, the Cuculus himalayanus or Rochii. The next allied species of Cuculus Audeberti is the Indian Cuculus sparveroides, Vigors, from the continent of India, put by modern ornithologists, after the example of S. Müller in the subgenus Hierococcyx. |

| The Insectivora from Madagascar generally belong to forms which are quite distinct from each other, such as the genera Centetes, Oryzoryctes, Geogale, etc., and which have now become the types of separate families and subfamilies. Up to 1848 the large group of Shrews, Soricidae, was looked upon as not inhabiting either Madagascar or the little adjoining islands. At that time Mr. Ch. Coquerel, Surgeon in the French Navy, published a good description and figures of Sorex madagascariensis ¹), a very small Shrew, which he had discovered at Nossi-Bé, on the N. W. Coast of Madagascar. Later in 1855 Dr. Leop. Fitzinger briefly described as Pachyura auriculata ²), a much larger Shrew brought home by Mad. Ida Pfeiffer from her travels in Madagascar. But this... |

| In a small but very interesting collection of Coleoptera from the island of Sumbawa recently presented to the Leyden Museum by his Excellence, the Governor General of Dutch India J. W. van Lansberge, I found two specimens of a new species of the above mentioned genus. It occupies a position quite by itself in the genus, the pronotum being entirely smooth without a central fovea, and the elytra being irregularly punctate-striate. It has the first mentioned characteristic in common with F. integricollis Thoms. of the Marianne Islands, the second with F. sublaevis Palis. (= nigritus Westw.) of West-Africa and with F. anthracinus Klug of Madagascar. I propose to name this new and interesting species |

| 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... |

| This species, which inhabits India (Tranquebar) ¹), is the type of de Castelnau’s genus Sthenias, but, according to the description of the mandibles and antennae, only the female sex was known to that Author, and even to Lacordaire at the time he wrote the 2nd part of the 9th volume of bis »Genera des Coléoptères,"""" published in 1872. In the Leyden Museum are two male specimens of this species from Tranquebar (from the collection of Mr. Raye van Breukelerwaard), and these have the outer margin of the basal half of the mandibles thrown up and prolonged, so as to form a tooth-like, nearly perpendicular, appendage. The antennae reach a little beyond the apex of the elytra and are fringed all along their under surface. The... |

| Dr. B. Hagen, the well known passionate naturalist, lived several years in Tandjong-Morawa, later in Medan, East-Sumatra, Deli. He published in »Das Ausland, 1881” a paper, entitled »Vorläufige Mitteilungen über die Fauna Ost Sumatras.” In this paper he solely treated the Mammals, especially based upon the collections made by himself and by his hunters. Afterwards he presented his whole immense collection to the Leyden Museum, several thousands specimens of Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Insects. Up to the investigations made by Dr. Hagen about nothing was known concerning the Mammals of the eastern part of Sumatra, and so I think that a review of his collections will be very wellcome to naturalists, the more as the Fauna of Sumatra is one of the bases upon... |

| Besides H. Bowringi Schaum, from Poeloe Penang and of which I possess a specimen labelled »Sumatra”, no species of Hexagonia have been recorded from the Indo-Malayan Region. I have now to add three more species and two of them have proved to be new to science, whilst one seems to be identic with H. Kirbyi Schm. Göb. from continental India (exact locality somewhat doubtful). All these species have been taken in Java, but one of the new species ( nigrita m.) also occurs in Sumatra. Mr. Th. Lucassen sent over to the Leyden Museum two specimens of H. Kirbyi Schm. Göb., together with three examples of a new species (Lucassenii m.) captured in two different localities, but all under similar circumstances, hidden in the sheathes... |

| In a paper on the Australian Schizorrhinidae Dr. Kraatz established a. o. a new genus Dysephicta (Deuts. Ent. Zeitschr. XXIV, p. 208) for the reception of Cetonia bifida Oliv. (the Schizorrhina bifida of G. & P., Schaum and the Munich Catalogue), which was said to be from India or. The type specimen of G. & P. having now passed into the possession of Mr. Oberthür, it has, however, turned out to be, instead of an Indian insect, the well-known Anochilia republicana Coq. from Madagascar, for which Dr. Kraatz has proposed the new generic name Coquerelia (l. c. p. 314). About this genus Mr. O. E. Janson remarks at the end of his description of Anochilia incilis (Cist. Ent. III, p. 147), »the characters given by Kraatz... |

| 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... |

| It has been long evident to me, that several distinct species have been confused under the name of Macronota or Taeniodera quadrilineata , but owing to the want of sufficient material, I have hitherto been unable to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion regarding them. Recently however, by the acquisition of Mr. F. Moore’s collection of Cetoniidae, I have secured a good series of specimens from India, and by the courtesy of Mr. Ritsema I have obtained the loan of the various Javanese and Sumatran examples of this group contained in the collection of the Leyden Museum, These, together with other specimens to which J. have had access, have enabled me to recognize both sexes of no less than four species, all of which closely... |

| Years ago I received from his Excellency, the Ex-Governor General of Dutch India J. W. van Lansbercre, a lot of beetles from Sintang (Borneo), containing a. o. a male Cyclommatus of minor development, which I believed to belong to an uudescribed species. I abstained, however, from describing it for want of the major development, but gave it the provisory name of squamosus, making allusion to the large scales by which the insect is covered on its upper surface. Now, a few days ago, my friend Neervoort van de Poll handed to me for identification a male Cyclommatus of major development from Brunei (Borneo), captured by Mr. Waterstradt, and I was highly surprised to find that it belonged to the same, still uudescribed species... |

| In the volume of the »Fauna of British India” edited by W. F. Blanford, containing the description of the Reptilia and Batrachia by G. A. Boulenger, it is stated, p. 4, that it is not certain that Crocodilus porosus Schneid. is found far above the tideway in rivers. It may therefore be of some interest to state that I found (1889) an individual of this species (the skull of which is now in the Leyden Museum) living in the river Sinamar near Boea in the Highlands of Padang, Sumatra. The Sinamar is a branch of the Kuantan, which latter has its mouth on the east coast of the island, whilst Boea is situated much nearer the west coast from which it is, however, separated by several ranges of high hills; the straight distance... |
