DRACO CORNUTUS. 251 
Three specimens. 
4, Draco lineatus Daud. 
One specimen. 
5. Gonyocephalus miotympanum Gthr. 
One specimen. 
6. Gonyocephalus borneensis Schl. 
A specimen broken into pieces, the fragments being 
perfectly recognizable. 
7. Japalura ornata, nov. spec. 
Body compressed, limbs very long. Fifth toe much lon- 
ger than first nearly as long as third. An oblique fold in 
front of the shoulder, the fold of the right side meet that 
of the left side below the throat thus forming a gular fold. 
All the scales keeled, the dorsals heterogeneous. Our spe- 
cimen is a female and shows a series of strongly keeled 
scales on the nape, indicating the presence of a nuchal 
crest in the male. Farther on the back this series is not 
so conspicuous. Snout nearly as long as the diameter of 
the orbit, with a rounded canthus rostralis. A small, co- 
nical rostral appendage, which in our specimen is not 
erected but lying backwards, on the upper part of the 
head; this rostal appendage measuring 2,5 m.m., with small 
imbricate scales. Upper and lower labials seven. 
As our specimen is not in a very well preserved state 
I cannot well describe the coloration. The ground colour is 
a brownish red with small light coloured spots below the 
eyes. It measures 5,7 em. from the tip of the snout till the 
anal opening, and had in its oviducts two ripe eggs, one 
on each side. These eggs of an oval form are very large 
in proportion to the dimensions of the animal itself, being 
1,5 ems by, 0,7. cm. 
I have long hesitated in which genus I had this lizard 
to class, seeing that it has points of resemblance in com- 
mon with Otoeryptis and Aphaniotis as well as with Cera- 
tophora and Japalura and at length fixed on the last men- 
tioned genus lead by the unmistakable presence of an obli- 
que fold in front of the shoulder.
