I have borrowed M. Strauch’ s definitions of Turkistan reptilia from
Fedchenko’s report on his first expedition [Pro. Soc. Friends o f Nat.
H ist., Vol. iii., Part i). Fedchenko also communicated to me unpublished
definitions of Stellio himalayanus and Zamaenis Fedchenkoi.
Of reptiles I myself found only Scafteira grammica, S. s e r if ta,
and, perhaps, Ph.rynocefh.alus inter seafularis. The Gymnodactylus
Eversmanni, Stellio Lehmanni, S. himalayanus, E u fr e fis fr in c e fs ,

(No. 6) was obtained m the marshes on the small Almatinka river, near
Viemy, at about 6,000'. Two specimens were presented'to me by
Genera1 Kolpakovsky, ^ and given for definition to Mr. Ballion, who
described R . Eessleri. The remaining two species are from the
