482 bulletin: museum of comparative zoology. 



6. Geckolepis maculata Peters. 



Three examples which I identify provisionally were in the series 

 from the Eastern Forest. This and several other genera in the collec- 

 tion are probably not represented in any other American museum; 

 there were no Geckolepes in the British Museum when the Catalogue 

 was published in 1885, and for this reason as well as the fact that some 

 of the descriptions are meagre and many based upon rather scanty 

 material make one far from certain of the status of some of the species 

 described. 



7. Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau). 



Six examples from the Eastern Forest. The Museum already 

 had several species of this circumtropical species from various points 

 in Madagascar. 



8. Phelsuma lineatum Gray. 



Three beautiful specimens from the Eastern Forest. 



9. Phelsuma laticauda (Boettger). 



A fine series taken during September, 1915, in the swamps near 

 Didy. 



10. Phelsuma cepedianum (Merrem). 



Two specimens from the Eastern Forest differ a good deal in colora- 

 tion from Mauritius examples. The genus Phelsuma badly needs 

 revising with adequate material. The Museum had previously 

 received from Boettger P. madagascaricnsc Gray and P. quadriocella- 

 tuvi Peters. The latter considered by both Boulenger and Mocquard 

 as but a variety of P. laticauda. Boettger in his Voeltzkow report 

 does not speak of it at all. It would be interesting to know whether 

 the peculiar markings are in any way correlated with habitat or 

 locality. 



Uroplatidae. 



11. Uroplates fimbriatus (Schneider). 

 A fine adult from the Eastern Forest.
