This impression later becomes a conviction. 3. Herpetological Notices | No. 3 — July 31, 1912 | On Reptiles New to the Island Arcs | of Asia | by | Surgeon J. C. Thompson, U. S. N. | San Francisco | Published by the Author I 1912. In this case the subject matter begins upon page I and continues to page 5. Doctor Thompson first, after having showed that, in Mabuia longicaudata (Hallowell), "Formosan specimens dif- fer slightly from the mainland ones in several respects," pro- ceeds to inform us ...that "Only upon the ground of the desire to multiply names could one resort to the use of M. rhustrati (Fischer) to designate the Formosan form." Writing of Lygosoma latcrale Say, Thompson quotes Boulenger and Stejneger to the effect that Chinese and Ameri- can individuals of this species are indistinguishable. "Yet," he adds, "one can safely prophesy that ere long the specimens taken in Formosa and the Loo Choo Islands will appear dis- guised under a subspecific alias." He then proceeds to name Lygosoma laterale var formoscnsis, the type being 25026 Cal.
