species is named for its discoverer who very kindly permitted 

 me to describe it. 

 Gekko gecko (Linnaeus). 



Lacerta gecko LinNjEUS, Syst. Nat. ed. 10, 1 (1758) 205. 

 Gekko gecko Taylor, Lizards of the Philippine Islands (1922) 94. 



This common species was collected in Manila and Los Bafios, 

 Luzon, and on Jolo Island. It appears to be absent from Kalinga 

 and Polillo. I heard the call of this species many times in the 

 vicinity of the town of Zamboanga, but no specimens were taken. 

 None were seen or heard in the forests to the north of Zam- 

 boanga or in Basilan. 



In my work on Philippine lizards I suggest that Gekko gecko 

 is of comparatively recent introduction since it is seldom found 

 at any considerable distance from human habitation. It is quite 

 unknown in central eastern Mindanao, away from the coasts. 

 Draco bimaculatus Giinther. 



Draco bimaculatus Gunther, Kept. Brit. India (1864) 127; Tayix)R, 

 Lizards of the Philippine Islands (1922) 126. 



This species was collected near Pasananka, Zamboanga, at 

 Abung-abung, Basilan, and on Mount Tumantangis, Jolo. 



Most of the Zamboanga specimens were shot from coconut 

 trees. Not infrequently this species and Draco nzah were 

 collected from the same tree. In Basilan specimens were col- 

 lected from the trunks of forest trees. Sometimes three or 

 four specimens were observed in the same tree particularly ,n 

 cutover areas where most of the larger trees had been rented. 

 Only a single specimen was collected in Jolo. It was obtained 

 for me by Mr. Alexander Schuck from a large forest tree at 

 an elevation of about 600 meters, on Mount Tumantangis. Mn 

 Schuck shot it from the tree with a forty-five revolve^ The 

 specimen was uninjured save for a broken leg. A «P^£ £ 

 this species was collected at Cabalian, Leyte, by Gregono Alforo 



Males and females agree very 



well in color save that in the 



females the throat is crossed by two deep bluish black lines.
