Type locality: — "Habitat in India, Africa." 



This wonderful little creature, the Hap-Hcip of the Javanese Malays, is 

 extremely common about Buitenzorg, wlience came the thirty specimens col- 

 lected in 1906-1907. Bryant found it equally abundant there, and sent back 

 twenty-five; he took two others at Gunung Bunder, Mt. Salak; and one at 

 Depok. It is strictly a lizard of the lower regions of the island, and it does not 

 occur about Tjibodas or Sindanglaia, or at an altitude above 3,500-4,000 feet. 



Draco fimbriatus Kuhl. 

 KuHL, Beitr. zool. und vergl. anat., 1820, p. 101. Bodlenger, Cat. lizards Brit, mus., 1885, 1, p. 265. 



Type locality: — "India orientalis." 



This flying lizard is much rarer than the common D. volans. Bryant got 

 five examples at Buitenzorg. It can be easily cUstinguished from the other by 

 the pure white under surfaces of the "wing"; and, of course, it grows to a far 

 greater size. One of this series (collector's No. 558) has a minute tympanum, 

 almost indistinguishable; in this character it is widely different from that typical 

 of the species. 



Gonyocephalus chamaeleontinus (Laurenti). 



Laurenti, Syn. Rept., 1768, p. 47. Boulenger, Cat. lizards Brit, mus., 1885, 1, p. 285. 

 Gonyocephalus kuhlii (Schleg.). Bodlenger, loc. cit., p. 286. 



Type locality: — "Habitat in America." 



This species is a variable one. With a considerable series at hand, I have 

 concluded that G. kuhlii is not a valid species; and, although I have no Sumatran 

 specimens, I strongly suspect that Schlegel's G. (Lophyrus) sumatranus should 

 be added to the synonymy as well. 



The 1900-1907 collecting brought back two examples from Sindanglaia; 

 one from Sukabumi; two from Tjibodas; and one from Tjiserupan. Bryant 

 had six from Tjibodas. In this lot were individuals of all ages, including several 

 large, fully adult specimens. Some had the ventral scales keeled quite distinctly, 

 others less so; while a single, large one had them almost smooth. The project- 

 ing supraciliary border is more or less developed; varying, as does also the 

 nuchal crest, both in height and in position anteriorly; so that no definite line 

 can be drawn to separate groups of individuals.
