REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS FROM PENINSULAR SIAM. 151 



Maprit and Klong Bang Lai, P. Siam. 3 specimens. 



As already pointed out bj' Annandale ( 1905), there is no real 

 evidence that this lizard occurs in Southern India as given in the 

 Fauna. The locality of the type specimen is unknown, but it has since 

 been discovered in the Tavoy district, Tenasserira. 



There are no praeanal pores in the only male (a half-grown one) 

 in my possesion. One scale bears a slight impression, but it is not per- 

 forated. The question as to what is the correct number of pores in 

 this species has already been discussed by Annandale (1913), but it 

 would appear from my specimen, as well as from his own remark 

 upon the type, that this character is not a constant one. A similar 

 peculiarity may occur in Gonatodes ];enclaUi, under which heading this 

 point is again referred to. 



9. GVMXODACTYLUS MARMORATUS (FitZ.). 



Bangnara, Patani, 2 specimens. 



The species has not been met with north of this locality. 



10. Gonatodes kendalij (Gray). 



Kliao Wang Hip (upper camp), Nakon Sitamarat, 2c^, 2$ 

 Maprit and Klong Bang Lai, Patiyu, 6d, 42. 



Previously known only from as far north as Perak, the range of 

 this gacko is now considerably e.xtended, as in addition to those 

 obtained from the above mentioned localities, I have since found it at 

 Chaatabun, and on Khao Sebab, a hill close by, in South-eastern Siam. 



Gonatodes kendalli is described as having no praeanal or femoral 

 pores, and the presence of these ( 6-8 praeanal pores in an obtuse- 

 angled series, interruptel mesially) in the males from some localities, 

 and the absence of them in those from others, was extremely puzzling. 

 In the two specimens from Nakon Sitamarat, they were present, but 

 in the six from Maprit and Klong Bang Lai they were absent, whiiat 

 in two other males, one from Ohantabun and another from Khao Sebab, 

 they were agun present. A larger series is required, however, before 

 one could definitely say whether the character was constant in each 

 locality, and so ascribe it to local conditions, or whether it was depen- 

 dent upon some other factor. In all other respects the specimens 

 entirely agreed with each other. Mr. Boulenger tells me that since 

 he wrote his description of G. Icendalli, he has also seen a specimen
