Particulars of Specimens Examined. 



Hahifat. — Blanford found A. micropholis locally throughout 

 Baluchistan, much less abundant in the lower elevations near the 

 coast than A. cantoris, l)ut apparently replacing that species completely 

 at elevations above 1000 metres. Three specimens were oljtained in 

 S.E. Persia, but the species appears to be absent from the highlands 

 of Persia, where, hitherto, no Acanthodactyls have been observed.
