S. 1899, p. 627. I found this species common on Gunong Inas between 3000 and 4000 ft., where it was the only lizard I came across except a Draco that I could not catch. I collected about half-a-dozen specimens amougst boulders on the course of a small stream, these were all of small size, and I saw several others none of which appeared to be larger than the individuals I caught. The measurements of one of these are :- Breadth of bead 7 mm. Length of bead 11 „ body 30 „ ,, tail 38 „ „u fore limb 14 ,, hind limb 15 On the other hand, a specimen taken some two thousand feet lower down was approximately of the size of the specimen figured by Capt. Flower (loc. cit.) and by Stoliczka (Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, xxxix. 1870, pi. x. fig. 1), but two others from about the same level agreed in size with my smaller specimens. The measurements of the large specimen are :- Breadth of head 10'5 mm. Length of head 16 „ body 42 „ ,, tail 65 ,, „ fore limb 22 ,, „ hind limb 38 ,, HEMIDACTYLUS PRENATUS (Schleg.).
