| Fossil remains of a hyaenid were discovered at Kedoeng Broeboes, Kebon Doeren and Tegoean by Prof. Eug. Dubois during his palaeontological searches in Java. These remains have been mentioned in literature as Hyaena felina (Dubois, 1891, pp. 94, 95; Anonymus, 1891, p. 14), but later they were described as belonging to a distinct species, Hyaena bathygnatha (Dubois, 1908, p. 1265). Recently von Koenigswald (1935, p. 68, figs. 3, 4) described two lower fourth premolars of a hyaenid from Sangiran, Java, which he considered to be identical with Hyaena sinensis Owen; provisionally von Koenigswald referred H. bathygnatha to the synonymy of H. sinensis. As the original description of Hyaena bathygnatha does not contain much positive information on the types... |

| The respiratory organs of snakes show a great diversity according to genera and species. In the Boidae (two genera excepted; cf. Brongersma, 1951 a and 1951 b), and in Xenopeltis unicolor (Reinw.) both lungs are well developed, although the left is shorter than the right (Butler, 1895). The difference in length between the right and the left lung is not the same in all genera and species, but it also shows individual variations within the species. In the Anilidae the left lung has undergone further reduction than in the Boidae; in Cylindrophis rufus (Laur.) the left lung is still rather well developed, its length is 12% of that of the right lung; in Anilius scytale (L.) the left lung is rudimentary, its length being only 3.5% of that of the right lung; in... |

| Van Kampen (1924, p. 284) mentions only two species of frogs from Morotai Island; the identification of one of these was considered to be doubtful. Of snakes De Jong (1928, p. 149) records five species from this island. The study of a small collection of frogs and snakes from Morotai, presented to the Leiden Museum in 1862 by H. A. Bernstein, and of two frogs collected by Prof. H. J. Lam in 1926, allows of some additions to be made to previous lists. The species not mentioned by either Van Kampen or De Jong are indicated by an asterisk. * Hyla infrafrenata Gthr. 4 specimens, Morotai, leg. H. A.

| On September 13th, 1959, Mr. Tex Geddes and Mr. James Gavin were fishing one mile from Soay (a small island off the south coast of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland), when a strange marine creature appeared and passed fairly close to their boat. Although Dr. Maurice Burton received a report on the sighting from Mr. Geddes in September, 1959, and an account of it from Mr. Gavin in November, 1959, nothing seems to have been published about it at the time. The story was released when in 1960 the autobiography of Mr. Geddes (“Hebridean Sharker”) appeared. Then, the Soay Beast was dealt with by McKay in “The Press & Journal” (Aberdeen) of May 20th, 1960, and by Burton in “The Illustrated London News” of June 4th, 1960. Both McKay and Burton suggest that the... |

| In all snakes, the Boidae and Xenopeltidae excepted, only the right lung is well developed, while the left lung is rudimentary or absent (BUTLER, 1895). The right lung consists of an anterior alveolar part that is strongly vascularized, and of a posterior smooth-walled air-sac that is anangious. Between these two parts a transitional zone may be present, in which the wall of the lung shows a faint reticulate pattern, and which receives some very fine branches from the pulmonary vessels. In a number of snakes, among which the Viperidae, the situation becomes more complicated. In these snakes the membrane that connects the dorsal ends of the incomplete tracheal cartilages has become greatly expanded, and this dorsal wall has developed an alveolar structure.... |

| X. NOTES ON THE NEWLY DESCRIBED GENUS CACOPHRYNE DAVIS Recently Davis (1935) pointed out that the toad known in literature as Bufo borbonicus (Tschudi) or Nectophryne borbonica (Tschudi) does not belong to either of these genera, and that it even does not belong to the Bufonidae, for the species differs from the true toads (Bufonidae) in two important characteristics, as it lacks Bidder's organs and does not possess testes of an elongated shape. Moreover the pectoral girdle proved to be firmisternal instead of arciferal. A new genus, Cacophryne, in the family Atelopodidae, was erected for this species by Davis, and this author (1935, p. 90) mentions that possibly some other species at present included in the genus Bufo, i.e., Bufo penangensis (Stol.),... |

| In recent years much attention is being paid to marine turtles, and it is the merit of Deraniyagala, Carr, and others to have contributed much to our knowledge of this group. Nevertheless, our knowledge of the species and subspecies that may be recognized, and that of their distribution is as yet far from complete. Before a satisfactory classification can be reached, many more data will have to be assembled. In the meantime, notes on variations in individual cases, and locality records may be of some value to future research. It is with this in mind that the present notes are published. They are based upon specimens in the collections of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden (ML), of the Zoölogisch Museum, Amsterdam (ZMA), of the British Museum... |

| In der herpetologischen Sammlung, die dem Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, vor etwa hundert Jahre von Boie und Macklot übersandt wurde, befanden sich zwei Exemplare von Phrynoglossus laevis laevis (Gthr.). Diese Stücke wurden von Van Kampen (1923, p. 232 Fussnote: Oxyglossus laevis) in seinem Buche über die Indo-Australischen Amphibien angeführt; da die Art seitdem nie mehr auf Java angetroffen war, meinte dieser Autor, dass die Fundortsangabe ,,Java" wahrscheinlich unrichtig sei. Deshalb wurde die Art in Faunenlisten der Insel Java meistens nicht erwähnt und in verschiedenen zoogeographischen Arbeiten wurde sie angeführt als auf der Insel Java fehlend. Diese Tatsache war dadurch um so merkwürdiger, dass die Art sowohl auf Sumatra und Borneo... |

| In his paper on a collection of Reptiles and Amphibians from Surinam VAN LIDTH DE JEUDE (1904, p. 84) mentions a specimen of Glauconia (= Leptotyphlops) macrolepis PTRS. Examination of this specimen showed that it differs in several characters from that species and I believe it to be a species new to science which I propose to name in honor of Professor Dr. J. E. W. IHLE of the Zoological Laboratory, University of Amsterdam, who always takes such a kind interest in my work and whom I always find willing to help me with advice. Leptotyphlops ihlei nov. spec.

| Until now the Elapid genus Denisonia had not been recorded from New Guinea, and this is remarkable in so far as the genus is known from Australia (and Tasmania) to the south, and from the Solomon Islands to the northeast of New Guinea. It is therefore not very surprising that now evidence has been procured of the presence of the genus in New Guinea. A single specimen of a species that we believe to be new to science was collected at Merauke in southern West New Guinea by Mr. A. J. M. Monsanto in 1959. The genus Denisonia is here accepted in its old sense, such as it was used by Boulenger (1896, p. 332), and by the majority of subsequent authors. Recently, Worrell (1961a; 1961b, pp. 24-26; 1963) has made attempts to divide Denisonia into eight genera, but... |

| During the time that I was stationed at Port Dickson (State of Negri Sembilan) on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula, a small zoological collection was made. The specimens were brought to me by the personnel of different units of the Royal Netherlands Forces, while I am also indebted to Major C. Rae, RASC, for some interesting specimens. Nearly all specimens belong to common species. However, this area has not been studied so very extensively and therefore, it seems worth while to place these species on record. Unless otherwise stated the specimens are from the strip of country along the coast road to the south of Port Dickson to about ten miles from the township. Where no unit is mentioned, the specimens have been collected by personnel of my own unit... |

| A complete account of all the reptiles then known to occur in the Indo-Australian Archipelago was published by De Rooij in 1915 and 1917. Since this time several new species have been described, while others have been suppressed or revived. Also the problem of geographical variation begins to penetrate in herpetology more and more. While studying the herpetological collections of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden and the Zoological Museum, Amsterdam, it became clear to me that, though De Rooij's books offer a sound basis for further studies on the reptiles of the Indo-Australian Archipelago, a great deal of revisional work must still be done before our knowledge of the herpetological fauna of that region will be fairly complete. As I can... |

| An attempt to prepare a survey of the poisonous snakes of Surinam led to the discovery of a specimen of the very rare coral snake Leptomicrurus collaris (Schlegel) in the Zoological Museum, Amsterdam, and to tracing another specimen in the Staatliche Museum für Naturkunde, Ludwigsburg (Stuttgart Museum). For long years the species was known under the name of Hemibungarus collaris (Schlegel), and as such it was supposed to occur in the Philippine Islands. The history of Elaps collaris Schlegel, 1837, was briefly discussed by Schmidt (1937), who transferred the species (together with Elaps narduccii Jan, 1863) to a separate genus Leptomicrurus Schmidt, 1937. At the time, Schmidt believed the specimen of Leptomicrurus collaris, which he described from... |

| From its origin, the right aortic arch passes anteriorly, and obliquely to the right; in this part of its course it gives off the two carotid arteries, or as the case may be (e.g., in Uropeltis melanogaster (GRAY)) the common carotid trunk. It then curves dorsally, medially, and caudally. At the end of the dorsal curve, the right aortic arch gives off the vertebral artery, which runs cranially, close to the ventral surface of the vertebral column, to enter the parietes at a greater or smaller distance behind the head. In its further course, the right aortic arch fuses with the left aortic arch to form the dorsal aorta, which passes caudally close to the ventral surface of the vertebral column. The intercostal arteries arise from the vertebral artery, from... |

| In 1904 two Teiid lizards from Surinam were described by VAN LIDTH DE JEUDE who named them: Arthrosaura versteegii and Prionodactylus kockii. Of the latter species I (1928) was able to show that it did not belong to the genus Prionodactylus but that it was also an Arthrosaura and that A. dorsistriata L. MϋLLER (1923, p. 147) was a synonym of it. The status of the different Arthrosaura-species is again discussed by Ch, E. and M. D. BURT (1931, p. 312—313) in a very interesting study on the South-American lizards in the American Museum of Natural History. At the same time these authors describe a new species, Arthrosaura tatei, from Venezuela, so that they refer four species (reticulata, versteegii, kockii, tatei) to this genus. Dealing with the two species... |

| In recent literature two subspecies of Mustela nudipes, viz., Mustela nudipes nudipes Desm. and Mustela nudipes leucocephalus (Gray), are recognized. In a survey of the Indo-Australian weasels, Dammerman (1940, p. 269) discussed the possibility of recognizing these two subspecies, but through lack of material he could not arrive at a definite conclusion. Since Dammerman's notes were published three more specimens were brought to light in the collections of our Museum. Moreover we had at our disposal two specimens from the collection of Mr. H. J. V. Sody, as well as four specimens and a skull in the Amsterdam Zoological Museum. A study of the variation of Mustela nudipes led us to reconsider the status of Mustela hamakeri Dammerman (1940, p. 266, pl. XV) as... |

Dubois during his paleontological searches in Java and Sumatra (1888—1895). For comparison with these prehistoric remains recent Carnivora from the Malay Archipelago and from the Asiatic mainland were examined, and notes on these are included. In the present paper remains of a marten (Martes (Charronia) flavigula (Bodd.) subspec.) from Goea (= cave) Djimbe, and those of a dog (Canis familiaris L.) from Goea låwå, both in Central Java, are described, together with some notes on recent Mustelidae.

| A look at the key to the species of the genus Lepidodactylus in Boulenger's Catalogue of Lizards (I, 1885, p. 162) shows at once that the species are placed in two groups differing in the development of the inner digit. This was first noticed by STEJNEGER (1899, p. 800) who transferred L. crepuscularis (Bav.), L. ceylonensis Blgr. and L. aurantiacus (Bedd.) to the genus Hemiphyllodactylus Blkr. At the same time he described a new species, H. leucostictus, from the Hawaii Islands. The different authors on Asiatic herpetology did not notice this publication as it chiefly dealt with the land-reptiles of the Sandwich-Islands. The attention was again attracted to it by TAYLOR (1922, p. 65) who (1918, p. 237) described a new species, H. insularis, from the... |

Two subspecies of Vipera russelii have been described from the Malay Archipelago. Mertens (1927, p. 183) made a specimen from Endeh Island the type of a new subspecies: Vipera russelii limitis Mertens. In a later paper, Mertens (1930, p. 327) refers the two specimens taken in the island of Komodo by Dunn (1927, p. 4) to this same subspecies, and according to Neuhaus (1935, p. 49) the Javan specimen described by him also belongs to Vipera russelii limitis. Kopstein (1936, pp. 259-262, pl. 3) discusses the differences... |

| INTRODUCTION The present paper contains notes on some recent cats in the collections of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, as well as descriptions of the fossil Felidae in the "Collectie Dubois", Leiden, which its Director Prof. Dubois entrusted to me. The fossils were collected in Java 1) by Prof. Eug. Dubois during his searches for remains of the precursor of man, and with the intention to gather data about the geological age and ecology of this precursor (cf. Dubois, 1888). The age of the deposits from which the fossil cats were collected, has been much discussed. A review of the literature (up to 1931) on this subject has been given by Van Es (1931), who concludes that the Trinilfauna must be referred to the lower plistocene age, while... |
