Taylor, and find it differs in the following particulars :- 

 The ventral scales are slightly larger — about 45 across the belly 

 instead of 60 — and the scales bordering the pubic groove are 

 not any larger than those on the adjacent surface of the thighs. 

 In the Philippine example there is a marked difference in the 

 size of these scales. 



The Mt. Poi juvenile agrees with the above except in coloura- 

 tion. In this specimen, which is about one-third grown, the 

 back is dark grey, with large irregularly disposed black spots, 

 which could not, with any form of coalescence, be said to form 

 bands. There is a black V-shaped mark on the nape, its apex 

 at the shoulders, and the tail is alternately banded with black 

 and grey.

The canthal ridges are well marked and extend backwards 

 above the eyes ; the back is covered with small granules in- 

 termixed with larger scattered tubercles arranged in from 10 

 to 12 fairly regular longitudinal rows; there are no preanal or 

 femoral pores nor enlarged scales that might bear them ; the 

 tail is covered on the sides and above with whorls of long point- 

 ed tubercles and has below a median series of enlarged, keeled, 

 pointed, partially erect scales so that when viewed from the 

 side they look like the teeth of a saw^ ; a pair of large chin- 

 shields are in contact with one another behind the mental or 

 separated by a small scale. The colour in alcohol is brown 

 above and on the sides with lighter variegations ; below 

 yellowish. 



The type of G. kendallii was collected by Sir E. Belcher in 

 Borneo. Its exact locality is not specified but it is fair to 

 assume that it was obtained somewhere in the State of Sara- 

 wak. It is known also from the Malay Peninsula and has been 

 recorded by me from the Nakon Sritamarat mountains, Penin- 

 sular Siam. (Journ. N. H. S. Siam, 1916, ii, p. 151.) With 

 undoubted examples of G. kendallii before me for comparison, 

 however, I now consider the Siamese form as distinct and pro- 

 pose for it the name Gonatodes siamensis. It differs in having
