ules, intermixed with numerous rounding granules; an in- 
distinct lateral fold; about 30 longitudinal rows of scales between 
the folds; preanal and femoral pores continuous, 27-28 on.each 
side, slightly separated medially, a total of 55 pores. Tail re- 
generated wholly; above covered with fine granules, with no 
trace of annulations, below with irregular large broad scales ; 
two enlarged tubercles at base of tail. Extremities moderate; 
toes not greatly dilated, about 16 lamelle under longest toe; 
no rudiment of web evident. 
Color in life-——Above almost uniform olive brown with but 
very little variation delineating the lighter and darker areas. 
No markings evident; below yellowish white.

Variation—Eight other specimens have been studied, taken 
by myself about Naujan Lake, Mindoro. These specimens are 
all young; they are darker than the type, with blackish stripes 
across the backs and on the tails. Two males in the lot have 
62 and 64 pores, respectively. 
Remarks.—This species is related to Gekko monarchus, from 
which it differs as shown in the table of measurements. Sev- 
eral specimens of that species are at hand for comparison.

Two males of equal size are compared. The ear-opening of 
G. mindorensis is larger, equaling half the eye. The eye itself 
is much larger than that of G. monarchus; the interorbital 
distance is less; there is a much larger number of preanal and
