The following notes are taken from specimens collected by Lieut.- Col. Beddome in Southern India, and by the late Dr. Jerdon in Northern India and the Himalayas. Besides descriptions of some new species, I have made some short remarks on others recently named and described-not with the object of correcting nomenclature, but rather with the view of inviting the authors of those species to reconsider the characters on which they have based them.

Perhaps there is now no other part of India the reptilian fauna of which is better known than the district explored by this indefatigable collector.
