Tlie species is founded ou two male specimens obtained by- 

 one of tbe Yunnan ]*]x[)editions under tbe late Dr. J. Ander- 

 son, F.ll.S. It agrees sufficiently avcU with Jerdon's''^ 

 description of H. suhtriedrus.^ m hich is probably confined to 

 certain districts of S. India; but this description is too vague 

 to be definitive. From Boulenger's f description of this 

 species H. svbtrieclroides differs in the number of digital 

 laraclhe and in other important points. The bulk is greater 

 than that of H. Brookli, Gray, the dorsal tubercles arc 

 larger, and the whole animal is more depressed. The propor- 

 tions also are different. Anderson identified the specimens 

 as H. maculatus, D. & B.

In the * Fauna of India ' Houlengcr points out that 

 Theobald's deseiiption of Heniklactyliis Mortoni is insufficient 

 to ensure its recognition. He states liis belief that this 

 species is either identical with or closely allied to either 

 II. Bowrivgii, H. karenonim, or H. Garnotii. After com- 

 paring two specimens labelled H. Mortoni (one of them 

 presented by Theobald) in the Indian Museum with a con- 

 siderable number belonging to the three species referred to, 

 I can sec no essential difference between these twospecini' us 

 and typical ones of H. Garnotii, D. & B., a species w hich is 

 easily recognized.
