Localities. Of this fine lizard, commonly called " Chameleon " 

 by the English in the Straits Settlements, I have seen specimens 

 from Penang (up to 2200 feet), Perak, Selangor, and Singapore ; 

 wherever it occurs it seems to be fairly numerous. Dr. Hauitsch 

 records it also from Kemaman (Eep. EafSes Libr. & Mus. 1879, p. 9). 



Description. There may be as many as 121 scales round the 

 middle of the body. 



Colour. To my previous account of the changes of colour of this 

 species (P. Z. S. 1896, p. 871) may be added : — 



1st. Iris, in different individuals, may be rich bright carmine-red, 

 hazel-brown, or dark brown. 



2nd. In one phase of colour the head, nuchal crest, body, limbs, 

 and anterior portion of tail are bright grass-brown, with six 

 indistinct dark green transverse bands on the body, and the 

 posterior portion of tail dark brown.

 This lizard is known from Cambodia, where the types were 

 obtained by M. Mouhot, so it may possibly also occur in Siam.
