Show 208 MR. G. A. BOULENGER ON THE [Feb. 2, 15. CALOTES CRISTATELLUS, Kuhl. Four specimens : Tomohon. Three specimens : Kema. Two specimens: Kottabangon. Manado (Meyer). Manado, Kandari (Bruljn, Beccarl). Banti-murong, S. Celebes (Weber). Dr. Midler has expressed his doubts as to the specific distinctness of C. celebensis. After examining the material collected by the Drs. Sarasin, I agree with him, and no longer think that form can be regarded as more than a variety of C. cristatellus, with which it is connected by the form named Intermedia by Peters and Doria. The specimens recorded above have 57 to 65 scales round the middle of the body, and the tympanum measures two-fifths to one-half the diameter of the orbit. Calotes jubatus is represented in the British Museum by a specimen labelled " Manado : Meyer." As Dr. Meyer does not indicate this species in the list of Beptiles collected by him, I suppose some mistake has taken place, and I therefore leave out this Calotes from the Catalogue of Celebes Beptiles. 16. LOPHURA AMBOINENSIS, SchloSS. Paloppo (Luhu), C. Celebes. A single specimen. Posso, C. Celebes ; Togian Ids. (Meyer). Tempe and Pampanna, S. Celebes (Weber). The single specimen, an adult male, agrees in the coloration with Peters's L. celebensis, but the enlarged scales on the neck and body are nothing like the size of the tympanum. The largest scale on the side of the body measures 5 millim., the tympanum 9. Seven femoral pores on one side, eleven on the other. VARANIDcE. 17. V A R A N U S SALVATOR, Laur. Two specimens: Kema.
