DRACO DUSSUMIERI. 125 



lateral pouches yellow or silvery rose, with black dots. Wings below with large brownish 

 or blackish spots. 



This species is found in Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and at Pinang and Singapore. 



Note 1. — Draco reticulatus (n. sp.), from the Philippine Islands, is allied to D. volans. The length of 

 the hind limb is contained 1*1 times in the distance of the axils of the limbs ; male with a distinct nuchal 

 crest, and with a similar crest along eacli side of the neck ; on each side of the posterior half of the trunk 

 a continuous series of keeled scales, some of which are larger than the rest. Throat and base of the 

 gular sac with brown reticulated lines, enclosing round whitish spots ; neck and the upper surface of the 

 wings with a meshwork of similar hues, enclosing round greenish-white spots ; the lower surface of the 

 wings uniform whitish. 



Note 2. — Draco cornutus (n. sp.), from Borneo, also is allied to D. volans. The length of the hind 

 limb is contained 1'4 times in the distance of the axils of the limbs. Dorsal scales subequal in size, 

 smaller than the middle upper labials, obscurely keeled ; a spine-like tubercle above the hind part of the 

 orbit, longer than broad at the base ; both sexes with a very low nuchal crest ; on each side of the back 

 a more or less distinct series of rhombic, keeled, distant scales which are rather larger than the rest. 

 Chin with a few reticulated greenish lines ; gular sac uniform ; a pair of black spots on the neck, before 

 the shoulder. Ground-colour of the wing brownish in the male, light reddish in the female, with 

 numerous round black spots in both sexes ; margin of the wing black.

The hind limb extends nearly to the axil of the fore limb, if laid forwards, its length 

 being contained 1-1 times in the distance between the axils of the limbs. Nostrils lateral, 

 directed outwards; tympanum scaly. Dorsal scales smaller than the upper labials, partly 

 keeled ; male with a very low and indistinct nuchal crest ; the gular sac is very large, 

 strongly compressed in front. On each side of the back a series of large, trihedral, distant 

 scales. Throat with small brown dots. The upper surface of the wings with numerous 

 whitish longitudinal stripes of scales, and with black rounded spots, of which one in the 

 outer, anterior corner of the wing is generally the largest. The lower part of the wing 

 uniform whitish, sometimes with an isolated black spot. 



This is a truly continental species, having been found in different parts of the coast of 

 Siam, at Pinang, and in Tenasserim. The figure given represents a male specimen from the 

 former country.
