   The second part of the Reptilia (third of the Fauna Japonica) is thus quoted by A.
 Wagner, in the München Geleherte Anziger, V, NO. 134, July 7, 1837, p.41. This  part,
 according to him, contained two different memoirs, the first one by Schlegel, treating
 of the Japanese snakes (pp.81-93 + pls. I-X); the other by Temminck, giving a review
 of the fauna of the Sunda Islands and Japan (pp. I-XXX).
   The latter, which is dated November, 1835, but first distributed through the book
 trade during the Easter "Messe" at Leipzig in 1837a, is evidently Temminck's "Coup
 d'oeil"b.

	[a"Diese Abhandlung is von November 1835 datirt; durch den Buchandel is sie
	indesz erst seit des letzten Ostermesse angezeigt und verbreitet." Wagner, München
	Geleherte Anzeiger, V, p.43.]

	[b I have seen only two copies of this memoir, thr full title of which is
	as follows: Coup d'œil [sur la Faune des iles de la Sonde] et de [l'empire du Japon.|
	Discours préliminaire | destiné  à servir d'introduction à 
	la Faune du Japon.
	   It is a folio of XXX pp., with Temminck's name at the end only. The copy which I
	examined in the library of the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris, was bound with the 
	mammals of the Faune Japonica.]
 
  Wagner (on p.55) calls special attention to the Triton japonicus mentioned by
 Temminck in this work.
  This part is also reviewed in Magazine of Zoology and Botany (ed. by Jardine, Selby
 and John.ton [APP: ? sic; "." fide in original], II, 1837, No. IX p.266 (published August 1, 1837). 
1838. The title page of the entire reptile volume bears this date and may be taken as correct
 for the publication of the third part, embracing the Saurii and Batrachii (pp.
 85-144, pls. I-VIII). On p.140, the last page of the text (exclusive of index), is printed
 the date "Janv. 1838." In this part was also included Siebold's "preface suivie d'eun
 aperçu historiques et physiques sur les reptiles du Japon" (pp. I-XXI), which is signed
 "Mai, 1838." As Wiegmann, in his "Leistungen" for 1838 (Arch. Naturg., 1839, II, p.
 386) complains that the Royal Library in Berlin had not as yet received the part in
 question, it is plain that he knew of its publication in 1838. It was reviewed in the
 "Isis" for October, 1838 (pp.852-854), hence its appearance must have been between 
 May and October, probably at the "Michaelismesse" (September).
  It should be added, for the sake of completeness, that Tschudi, in a letter written not
 later than August, 1837, from Leiden (printed in Leonhard and Bronn's Neues Jarbuch
 für Mineralogie, etc., 1837, Pt. 5, Sept., pp.545-547) says that "Im 7 Hefte der Fauna
 japonica is er schon abgebildet," meaning Schlegel's Salamandra maxima, which is con-
 tained in the third part of the reptile volume. There is no doubt that the plates and
 possibly also the text of this part were finished in 1837 and we know that Schlegel dis-
 tributed a few copies of the plate in question during that year, but Tschudi's statement
 does not invalidate the contention that the part as such was not published until the
 Michaelismesse of 1838.
  It will be seen that the dates of publication of the herpetological parts of Fauna
 Japonica differ somewhat from those given by Sherborn and Jentink. [PZS, 1895, p.149].
  They may be tabulated as follows:
 Chelonii
	pp.1-80, pls. I-IX............................1835 (Ostermesse?)
 Ophidii(+ Coup d'œil)
	pp.81-93[APP: actually 21[=81]-96], pls. I-X........1837 (Ostermesse)
