6. Hemidactxlus frenatus, D. & B. 



Ilemidactylus frenatus, Cantor, p. 23; Stol. J. A. S. B. 1870, 

 p. 104 ; Boul. Cat. Liz. i p. 120. 



Cantor says this species is " very numerous in valleys and hills ; 

 Malayan Peninsula, Pinang, and Singapore." Stoliczka says it 

 "occurs in Penang; I only obtained it on two occasions, both 

 times on the pillars o£ the verandah ; it seems to have been 

 expelled from the interior apartments by the much stronger Peripia 

 peronii" (=zGehi/i-a mutilata). I had not seen Stoiiczka's paper 

 when I was at Penang, but arrived at the same conclusion about 

 the habits of this species ; during a fortnight that I spent on 

 Penang Hill last March, I noticed that while Gehyra matilata 

 swarmed in my room, the smaller Ilemidactylus frenatus was only 

 to be found in the outer vcrandali. I also found this species in 

 Georgetown, Penang. The largest specimen I got was 106 mm. 

 in total length (H.B. 53 mm., tail 53 mm.).
