Abstract: This paper records eleven previously described species of lizards and four previously described species of snakes collected by one of us (Dryden) from June, 1%2 to May, 1%4 in the Mariana and Caroline Islands. In addition, a presumed new species of typhlopid snake from Guam, Mariana Islands is described. The lizards include one rather rare gekkonid (Peropits papuanus) from Angaur, West Caroline Islands and Saipan, Mariana Islands as well as two unusual skinks (Mabuya multicarinata and Eugongyhts mentovarius), both from Angaur, West Caroline Islands. Also included is a group of Dasia smargdinum of questionable subspecific designation from Ponape, East Caroline Islands. No amphibians were collected although the recently introduced toad, Bujo marinus was abundant on Guam, and to a lesser extent, on Saipan.
