Signed “By Andrew Smith, M.D. Surgeon of the Forces.” It is said to be “Continued from page 33.” Facsimile in Branch & Bauer (2005: 70-72). Smith listed 13 species of reptiles, 8 of which were new: Naja nigra; Naja gutturalis; Vipera ocellata; Lacerta elegans; Lacerta tesselata; Lacerta livida; Lacerta taeniolata; Lacerta intertexta; Lacerta ctenodactylus; Lacerta undata; Lacerta lugubris; Lacerta capensis; Algyra capensis.
Although at the end it is stated “(To be continued)”, no further installments have been found. However, an unpublished continuation to this paper is present as eight pages in proof state in the volume of collected papers by Smith in the Yale University Library, described by Ripley (1957, no.11). These proofs are provided in facsimile by Branch & Bauer (2005: 73-80).
