Cantor says, " In the valleys and on the hills of Penang it is 

 very numerous, swarming at night in rooms, on the walls, and 

 under the ceiling;" he also mentions the Malay Peninsula and 

 Singapore as localities. Miiller records this species from Singapore 

 in the Bale Museum. There are specimens in the British Museum 

 from Penang and Singapore. I did not see this Gecko in Penang, 

 but I found it common about the aviary in the Botanical Gardens, 

 Singapore.

Cantor mentions two specimens captured in a villa on Penang

 what I heard from inhabitants it must at any rate be rarely seen.

 Experimental Gardens, Penang Hill, 1 900 ft. Total lengtili 155 mm.

Cantor gives Malayan Peninsula and Penang as localities for 

 this species. Stoliczka says it " appears to be more common in 

 the jungles of the Weilesley Province and near Malacca, than it is 

 on Penang itself." Mr. Mitchell gave me two specimens caught 

 at Kulira, Kedah. In February, March, and April of this year 

 I found this species very numerous about Tanglin, Singapore ;
