AET.ll HERPETOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS FROM SIAM — COCHRAN 15 



The hia is quite destructive to ducks and chickens. I have met with 

 this or related species all over central and peninsular Siam. In 

 Nakon Sritamarat in 1923 I saw one at very close range several times 

 that was 2.7 m. long. As seen going through the jungle, this creature 

 had a real dinosaurlike appearance, with its long neck, small head, and 

 long, heavy tail. One has been reported to me by a British subject 

 long resident in Siam that was said to be 14 feet long. The usual 

 length is under 6 feet. The eggs are highly esteemed by the Siamese, 

 and are deemed fit for presentation to the royal household. — H. M.S.]
