very noticeable animals, the prominent yellow eyes and patch of 

 j'ellow skin by them showing up distinctly against the black head

Cantor (p. 141 ) says : — " Two males were at different times 

 captured on the Pentland Hills (Penang), at an elevation of about 

 1800 ft. One was found in a dark room, where it was observed 

 remaining motionless during several successive days. Its forms 

 and colours caused it at first to be mistaken for a withered leaf. 

 The second was taken on a tree."
