Common in Singgora and as far south as Patani, rare at Khota 

 Baru, Kelantan, and apparently unknown farther south along the 

 E. coast. The specimens recorded by Dr. Hanitsch from Singapore 

 were, I am inclined to suppose, accidentally introduced. In the 

 Peninsula this species does not inhabit houses. If, however, one 

 is set at liberty in a house it will often remain about the place. 



Gecko stentoe (Cant.).

This is essentially a forest-haunting species and its loud barking 

 cry is not unfrequently to be heard in the up-country jungle, 

 although the lizard is but seldom seen. I have heard its cry 

 " tok-tok-tok" repeated six or seven times and ending in a harsh 

 chuckle several times, but never saw the beast alive myself. Mr. 

 Annandale obtained two specimens, both males, one at Biserat, 

 the second at Kuala Aring. The former was mature and had 11 

 pre-anal pores, the latter, a younger specimen, had only 9. Its 

 head too was much more flattened than that of the adult individual. 

 It was caught in a dead bamboo.

A Malay in Penang sold me a specimen of this lizard ( d" ), 

 preserved in spirit along with a number of specimens of D. volans. 

 He assured me that he had caught it on the island, but had never 

 seen another like it.
