specimen in the Museum (from Stoliczka’s Yarkand collection)s 
which bears a label corresponding to the locality “ Kharbu, 
Ladak” in the register. By some error this individual is entered 
as Gymnodactylus stoliczkee—a species so distinct from A. pipiens 
that it is hardly probable that any confusion can have been made 
between them. It is possible, however, that some accidental 
exchange of labels may have taken place, and the latter species 
must be recorded as belonging doubtfully to the fauna of British 
India. It is desirable, if it does occur in Ladak, that further 
specimens should be obtained. They are easily recognizable on 
account of the extremely small size of the ear-opening. 
Distribution.—Turkestan ; Transcaspia. 
GYMNODACTYLUS OLDHAMI, Theob. 
G. oldhami, Theobald, Cat. Rept. Brit. Ind., p. 81. Boulenger, 
Faun. Ind., Rept., p. 38. 
The Indian Museum possesses the type and three other speci- 
mens of this Gecko. Except the type, they are from Lower Burma 
(‘“Tavoy,” “ Mintao,” and “'Tenasserim Hxpedition”’) ; while the 
type is recorded as from $. Canara. This locality is more than 
doubtful. It was merely suggested to Theobald (loc. cit.) by 
Beddome, who did not take the species himself in South India. 
Boulenger’s “keys” in the “Fauna of India” and the 
“Catalogue” hold good for G. oldhamz, G. fasciolatus and G. 
vartegatus, the types of all of which are in the Indian Museum 
but have lately been examined by him. 
GYMNODACTYLUS MARMORATUS, Gray. 
G. marmoratus, Boulenger, Cat. Liz. Brit. Mus. i, p. 44. 
The Museum has lately received specimens of this species: 
from the Malay Peninsula in exchange with the Selangor State 
Museum. It is to be hoped that it will be sought for in Lower 
Burma. 
GYMNODACTYLUS CONSOBRINOIDES, noy. 
The description is based on two male specimens, both probably 
immature, obtained in Tavoy a number of years ago by one of the 
Museum collectors. 
Diagnosis.—A form closely allied to G. pulchellus and the 
Bornean species G. consobrinus. There is no trace of a 
preanal groove; probably the adult male has an almost 
straight series of preanal and femoral pores, uninterrupted 
in the middle line and numbering about 26; in the young male 
these are represented by depressions in a row of enlarged 
scales. The dorsal tubercles are smaller than in G. pulchellus 
and less distinctly keeled; the ventrals are larger; the ventral 
region is not marked off by a line of enlarged tubercles; the
