dull greenish yellow ; bright yellow beneath and on either side of 

 pouch. 'Wings' beneath dull yellowish green ^ the orange 

 colouring having a tendency to show through. Lateral neck-flaps

The only other species of Draco as yet found in Assam is 

 D. noYvillii, Alcock,' a single specimen of which, now in the Indian 

 Museum, was taken at Dum Duma in N.-E. Assam some years ago. 

 This species is closely related to D. hlanfordii, Boulenger, from 

 which it differs in having the tympanum completely covered with 

 small scales. From D. maculatus it is easily distinguished by its 

 longer snout and by the broad patches of enlarged scales scattered 

 on each side of the back along the base of the alar membrane. 



9. Ptyctolaemus gularis, Boulgr.

This is a very rare lizard in collections. I have only seen 

 three specimens hitherto, two of them from Assam N. of the 

 Brahmaputra. Major F. Wall, however, states that the species is 

 common at Shillong in the Khasi Hills (4,900 ft.) and our third 

 specimen is from that locality. The western limit of its range is 

 apparently'' the same as that of Draco maculatus. It is possible 

 that both will be found in the Buxa duars] we have both in the 

 Indian Museum from Goalpara (Dhubri). Ptyctolaemus is certainly 

 not indigenous in Calcutta. 



Mr. Kemp found a very young specimen at Kobo in Novem- 

 ber ; although probably not long hatched (or born), it bore the 

 characteristic grooves on the side of the neck. Adults were taken 

 at Kobo by Capt. de Courcy and at Rotung by Mr. Kemp, who 

 did not obtain the species at altitudes of over 1,300 ft. 



10. Acanthosaura minor (Gray). 



Boulenger, Fauna, p. 127. 



This species is known from both Sikhim and the Khasi Hills. 

 It is, however, rare in the Darjiling district. A small specimen 

 was obtained at Upper Rotung (alt. ca. 2,000 ft.) in January. 



II. Calotes versicolor (Daud.).

The only specimen in the collection is a very young one 

 obtained at Sadiya.
