 REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS COLLECTED ON PULO CONDORE. 



By Malcolm A. Smith, f.z.s. 



With 1 Plate. 



The collection of reptiles and batrachians made was not 

 large, and it seems unlikely that it fully represents the herpetologi- 

 cal fauna of the Island. In batrachians, considering the number of 

 small streams met with by the collectors, it is unusually poor. Two 

 ground Geckoes were obtained which appear to be new to science, 

 and they are here described for the first time. The type series of 

 each form has been presented to the British Museum of Natural 

 History. 



The numbers referred to throughout are the registered num- 

 bers of my own private collection. 



REPTILES. 



Draco maculatus haasii Boettger. 



Draco maculatus haasii, Smith and Kloss, Jouin. N. H. Soc. Smm, 

 i. p. 239 (1915). 



8 specimens. 



In the absence of any blue spot at the base of the gular 

 pouch, these specimens agree with the form described by Kloss and 

 myself from the Chantabun coast. They are, however, distinctly 

 larger, and the consideration which we gave to size is evidently of 

 no value. The slight difference between D. m. haasii and the typi- 

 cal form, therefore, is one of colour only, but as it appears to be 

 confined to a definite geographical area, the name may be retained. 

 The distribution of this form is very limited, and includes the S. E. 

 portion of Siam and adjacent region in Cochin Chinx. From the 

 Dong Rek mountains (E. Siam) I have obtained both forms, but 

 elsewhere in Siam, as well as in Southern Annam, the typical form 



only. 



The colouration of Draco maculatus in life has never yet 



been fully described. The wing membranes above x&cy from orange 



or reddish-brown to pale yellow, yellowish -green or green. The 



markings are equally variable and range from a few black spots
