Bab. Southern India, Ceylon (I found this species very numerous 

 in houses at Colombo), Andamans, Burma, Siam, Cambodia, China, 

 Hainan, Formosa, Malay Peninsula, Isias, Java, Borneo (I found 

 it at Kudat and Brunei), Philippines, Celebes, Lombok, Sumba, 

 Savu, Ombaai, Ke Islands, North Australia, Amirantes, Mauritius, 

 St. Helena, and Somaliland. 



35. Hemidactxlus beookii Gray. 



Hemidactylus maculatus, part., Giinth. Eept. Brit. Ind. p. 107. 



Hemidactylus gleadovii, Blgr. Cat. Liz. i. p. 129 ; Blgr. Fauna 

 Brit. Ind., Eept. p. 86 (figured) ; S. Flower, P. Z. S. 1896, 

 p. 865. 



Hemidactylus broohii, Blgr. Cat. Liz. i. p. 128 ; Blgr. A. M. N. H. 

 1898, i. p. 123. 



Hah. India, Ceylon, Burma, South China, Malay Peninsula, 

 Borneo, Ombaai, and Tropical Africa. 



36. Hemidactylus depeessus Gray. 

 Hemidactylus dejrressus, Blgr. Cat. Liz. i. p. 134. 

 Hab. Ceylon, Malay Peninsula. 



37. Hemidactxlus leschenaulti D. & B. 

 Hemidactylus leschenaidtii, Blgr. Cat. Liz. i. p. 136. 

 Hab. India, Ceylon, Malay Peninsula. 



38. Hemidactxlus coct^i D. & B.

Hab. India, Malay Peninsula. 



These four species, broolcii, depressus, leschenaulti, and coctcei, 

 must be either very rare or local in the Straits Settlements ; 1 

 have nothing to add to what is recorded of them in the P. Z. S. 

 1896, p. 865. 



39. Hemidactxlus platxueus (Schneid.). 



Nycteridium schneideri, Giinth. Eept. Brit. Ind. p. 111. 



Hemidactylus jplatyurus, Blgr. Cat. Liz. i. p. 143. 



The Parachute House-Gecko vias recorded from Penang by both 

 Cantor and Stoliczka ; it is apparently rare there now, as I have 

 only met a single individual, in Georgetown, November 1896. In 

 Singapore, however, it is very numerous in many houses, though 

 curiously it does not seem to have been hitherto recorded from 

 there. So far I have never seen it on the mainland of the Peninsula. 

 In Siam we found it common in houses and gardens (and river- 

 boats) in Bangkok, Ayuthia, Tahkamen, Paknam Kabin, Bortong
