Habitat. — Blauford found .1. microphoJis locally throughout 

 Baluchistan, much less abundant in the lower elevations near the 

 coast than A. cantoris, but apparently replacing that species completely 

 at elevations above 1000 meti-es. Three specimens were obtained in 

 S.E. Persia, but the species appears to be absent from the highlands 

 of Persia, where, hitherto, no Acauthodactyls have been observed.
