EAST AFRICAN LIZARDS. 167 



shape measuring 9x5 mm. In captivity it took bluebottles

Rhampholeon KERSTBNii (Peters). 

 Blgr. Cat. Liz. iii. 1887, p. 175. 



Two females, tlie largest, Voi (19.vi. 16), measuring 3^ inches 

 (62'28 mm.). The other, collected at Gonya (29. v. 16), measures 

 just over 3 inches (51 "26 mm.). A third specimen, probably of 

 this species, was caught crossing the road at Handeni, but lost in 

 transit. 



The Gonya specimen was caught holding on to the edge of a 

 fragment of bark with its right side pressed to the bole of 

 a stump. Every peculiar angle of its head and body seemed to 

 assist in the deception — the colouring was perfect. Two yards 

 away a second specimen was found crawling out of the stream, 

 into which it had evidently been tumbled by natives engaged in 

 clearing bush and undergrowth. It subsequently escaped.
