Dr. Annandale adds, as a footnote to his recent note on 

 " Three rare Himalayan Lizards" (Rec. Ind. Mus., vol. x, p. 320), 

 that the typical form of the species occupies the foothills of the 

 Himalayas, the Gangetic plain, Assam, Burma, Siam, the northern 

 part of the Malay Peninsula, etc., according to his investigations 

 then the form does not occur in the higher mountains, but speci- 

 mens of this form were caught by me in the following places: — 



1, Three at Saujauli (about two miles from Simla). 



2. Two at Kufri (about eight miles from Simla on the Kulu 



Road). 



The altitudes of the two places is approximately 8000 feet. 

 The specimens are not very large and do not show any well marked 

 sexual characters. 



5. Agania tuberculata , Gray.

This rock lizard is very common at Simla as has been recorded 

 by Mr. Dodsworth [op. cit.). Dr. Annandale also obtained two 

 specimens of this form at Simla, while I have always seen them 

 basking on stones on sunny days ; specimens were also seen at 

 Kasauli though none were secured. 



A female specimen caught on the 22nd of August had five 

 eggs in it, the eggs were quite ready for laying. According to 

 Mr. Dodsworth the breeding season is May, June, July, and 

 probably the first half of August, but my specimen which showed 

 these ripe eggs was taken in the third week of August, hence the 

 breeding season seems to extend up to the end of August. In all, 

 eight specimens of this form were obtained on the Mashobra- 

 Tibet Road, from underneath large stones about four miles from 

 vSimla
