This species is common iu the forest of the Ulu Selama district 

 up to about 1000 ft. above sea-level. I caught three specimens, 

 two females and a male. One of the females contained three 

 large eggs. At a height of some 3500 ft. above sea-level on 

 Griinong Inas, I saw two or three Mying Lizards belonging to 

 another, smaller species, but could not capture any.

This lizard is very generally distributed all over the low-lying 

 country, and we obtained a considerable number of specimens at 

 Kuala Aring, Tringganu, Penang, and elsewhere. Mr. Eidley 

 tells me that the longest flight of one of these lizards he has 

 measured was about twenty-five yards ; in the course of this flight 

 it descended from a height of fifteen yards to the ground. They 

 appear to have some power of avoiding obstacles in their flight. 

 Females of this species contained two eggs, or in one instance 

 three.

We collected three young specimens of this lizard on the E. side 

 of the Peninsula, and one young and three adults (2 S,l ? ) at 

 the foot of Grunong Inas in Perak. The adult male, which I 

 caught myself, vv^as hiding under a large dead palm-spathe ; the 

 other adults, a pair, were caught sittiny; on a bra\ich of a fallen 

 tree. They seem to be rather sluggish httle creatures, but are very 

 difficult to see on the ground on account of their coloration. The 

 inside of the mouth in our adult specimens was of a curious blue 

 colour.

This species, exceedingly common in the south of the Peninsula, 

 becomes rarer towards the north, where it is replaced by C. versicolor. 

 We collected specimens at Biserat, in Singapore, Penang, and 

 Perak. A pair from Biserat, apparently sexually mature, were
