lies in the fact that it appears to be entirely a maritime species. 
It is common on sand-dunes by the sea on the Indian shore of 
the Gulf of Manaar and occurs on the coast of Ceylon. It is 
common on the shore at Madras and I recently took a specimen 
in a little banyan-grove on a sand-hill close to the sea on the 
Orissa coast a few miles north of Puri. I have never seen the 
species more than a few hundred yards above high-tide mark. 
A diligent search on the shore at Trivandrum and at other places 
on the Travancore coast failed to reveal a specimen and I can find 
no record of the occurrence of the species anywhere in the Malabar 
zone. 
3. A SPECIMEN OF Gymnodactylus peguensis, BLGR.—This 
lizard was originally described from two specimens taken by the 
late Signor Fea at Palon (Ann. Mus. Genova, 2nd ser., vol. xiii, 
p- 314, pl. vil, fig. 2, 1893) and has since been recorded from Lower 
Siam (Laidlaw, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1901, p. 304). Until 
recently it was not represented in the collection of the Indian 
Museum, but we have now received a fine specimen from Mr. 
C. G. Rogers, who took it under a stone in the East Yoma Forest 
Reserve on the west side of the Pegu Yomas (Thyetmyo district) 
-on Oct. 31st or Nov. Ist at an altitude of about 1,000 feet. 
Mr. Rogers describes the coloration as being ‘‘ chocolate brown ; 
spots olive green.’’ In spirit the ground colour is greyish and 
the. spots dark brown. The markings are much more conspicu- 
ous than is ever the case with G. rubidus, with which Boulenger 
compares the species.
