The representatives of this species in our collection apparently 

 include the types of Anderson's Cyrtodactylus yarkandensis, but 

 there is no evidence that either of his specimens was originally 

 designated as such. The whole series was obtained on the Second 

 (Forsyth's) Yarkand Expedition by F. Stoliczka. Some of the 

 specimens are in excellent condition. The species is evidently

Gymnodactylus lawderanus, Stoliczka.

 Boulenger, Fauna, p. 64. 



It is evident from Stoliczka's figure that the type-specimen 

 was deformed, probably owing to the tail having been reproduced. 

 This specimen still remains unique and has, perhaps fortunately, 

 lost its tail, the lepidosis of which was evidently abnormal. 

 Otherwise it is in good condition. It does not, however, offer 

 sufficient evidence, although the species is undoubtedly distinct, 

 for a dogmatic statement as to the correct position of G. lawder- 

 anus in the genus. It may be allied to G. niauritanicus (Gray).

Gymnodactylus gubernatoris, sp. nov. 



(Plate xvii, fig. 3.) 



Very closely allied to G. marmoratus,^ D. & B., but distin- 

 guished from that species by its darker colouration, smaller and
