Localities. I have found this species in the hills of Penang, 

 elevation 2000 feet, in March 1898, and in the Larut Hills, Perak, 

 elevation 3000 feet, in April 1898. Dr. Hanitach (Rep. Raffles 

 Libr. & Mus. 1898, p. 5) records specimens from Gunang, 

 Kledang, Perak, elevation 2100 feet, caught in March 1898. 



Habits. My Penang specimens I caught after dark hopping on 

 the ground on paths through the hill-jungle ; the Larut specimens 

 I found by daylight crouching on the nearly vertical face of some 

 rocks on the side of a rushing mountain-stream : thej were easily 

 caught in the hands. The iris in life is golden. 



made by animals, probabl)' reptiles or batrachians, that we generally consider 

 to be mute. I have not seen it recorded that tlie Lizard Uroma^fix CBgyptius 

 has a voice, but specimens now living in my house here olten make a low noise, a 

 sort of guttural cackling, audible 3 or 4 yards off. Testudo marginata at times 

 utters a plaintive cry, very like a sheep bleating ; and Tcdudo radiata has a low 

 querulous bark ; probably many other instances could be given. — S. S. F.,
