Remarks.—It will be seen that the measurements of the second 
specimen agree very well with those of the type. This specimen 
is dark black-brown over the greater part of the body; the 
deep brown, wavy lines on the back are scarcely distinguishable. 
On the tree from which the adult was taken, two eggs were 
found under bark attached to the tree. The eggs were joined 
together. The greatest diameter of either egg was 15.5. One 
egg was opened to verify beyond doubt its identity. The embryo 
measured 28 millimeters from snout to vent; tail, 26; the narrow 
flap on the tip of the tail is present as in the adult. The young 
_is very strongly marked in a pattern similar to that in the type. 
In southern Basilan certain freshly laid eggs of what appears 
to be this species were taken in October, 1920, but no adult 
was seen. In 1917 I found an egg on Buluan, a small island 
south of Basilan, containing a double-headed embryo of what 
was undoubtedly this species. I lost the specimen while swim- 
ming from shore to my launch across the coral reef. 
Draco mindanensis Stejneger. 
Draco mindanensis STEJNEGER, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 33 (1908) 677; 
TAYLOR, Lizards of the Philippine Islands (1922) 128. 
The type and cotype of this species were collected by Dr. E. 
A. Mearns, at the base of Mount Malindang, western Mindanao. 
Both specimens were males. The two specimens here recorded 
are from the tip of Zamboanga Peninsula, near Zamboanga, 
nearly 200 kilometers distant from the type locality. A male 
and a female were taken, both apparently belonging to Stejneger’s 
Species. The sexes vary greatly in color and markings. 
Description of adult female—Agrees with Stejneger’s de- 
scription save in the following points: Rostral two and one-half 
to three times as long as broad, bordered by eight scales; nostril 
vertical in a raised, truncate, conelike scale, separated from
