1913-] N. Annandale : Indian Geckos. 325 



Only one specimen is now in the collection of the Indian 

 Museum, the co-type having been sent to the British Museum 

 some years ago.

Gymnodactylus fasciolatus (Blyth).

lYaiilftniis fasciolatus, Bl}th, Jonrn. As. Soc. Bengal XXIX, p. 114 

 (i860) ; Boulenger I Gy/iiuodactyliis), Fauna, p. 71. 



The type and co-type are in good condition, except that the 

 markings have almost completely disappeared. A female recentl}^ 

 taken by Major Walt at Almora differs from them in having only 

 six perfect dark cross-bars on the body, the seventh being repre- 

 sented by a few irregular marks. The complete cross-bars are 

 broader than the interspaces and have sinuous margins. There 

 are 30 (not 36) ventral scales across the mid-belly in the type ; the 

 other specimens agree in this respect. 



The species is apparently endemic in the Western Himalayas 

 at low and moderate elevations.

A specimen in the British Museum labelled " Bengal" seems 

 to be the only evidence for the occurrence of this not uncommon 

 Malayan species north of Tenasserim. None of those in the 

 Indian Museum are from Indian territory. In the Malay Peninsula 

 G. pulchellus is found both in limestone caves and on tree-trunks.
