Siam and Malay Peninsula. A specimen of tliis species, 

 referred to C. microlepis, which differs in the narrower head, 

 smaller scales (65 round the body) not distinctly keeled on the sides, 

 and the more compressed tail, was obtained by Capt. Flower at 

 Chantaboon, and two at Gunong Tahan (6500 and 6200 feet) by 

 Mr. Eobinson, who observes that this is one of the highest 

 ranging Vertebrates on Gunong Tahan. These two specimens 

 were caught one on a rock and the other among low vegetation. 

 They had little, if any, power of colour change.
