of the Geckos of Burma and Sumatra for comparison with that of the 

 Andaman representatives of the family. Boulenger (3), as recently as 

 last year, has published a list of the reptiles of the Malay Peninsula, 

 and I need only say here that the Geckos, with a few exceptions, are the 

 same as those of Burma. For information regarding the Sumatran 

 species I am indebted chiefly to Werner's (5) recent memoir, and 

 I'egarding the Burmese to Boulenger's volume (2) in the " Fauna of 

 India" series and the same author's account (4) of Fea's collec- 

 tion, now in the Genoa Museum. Two species included have been de- 

 scribed by myself (6) quite recently.

In the above list a x denotes the occurrence of a species, a — 

 that it has not been recorded. The names of those species known from 

 the Andamans are distinguished by a *, of those known from the 

 Malay Peninsula by a §. The Geckos of Sumatra are still very imper- 

 fectly known, while the discovery of fresh species both in Upper and 

 Lower Burma is probable.

 found in houses) and Lepidodactylus Inguhru (whose insular distribution
