1916.] H. C. Ropinson & C. B. Kross: Kedah Peak. 235 
This bird was found singly feeding on the flowers of a 
small species of Eugenia growing in open tracts on the moun- 
tain. Though very common in Borneo it is one of the rarest 
of Peninsular birds and of late years has been met with on 
only two occasions, once on Gunong Yahan at 3,000 ft. and 
again at Temengoh, in Upper Perak, at low elevations. 
IVS REPTILES andsBADRACHIANS. 
As with the other vertebrata these appeared to be very 
scarce on Kedah Peak and none were obtained of any special 
interest excepting perhaps Mabmia novemcarinata which has not 
often been met with in the southern half of the Peninsula. 
The references are to Boulenger’s recent volume on the 
Reptilia and Batrachia of the Malay Peninsula. 
I. GYMNODACTYLUS PULCHELLUS (Gray). 
Blgr. p. 36. 
A young example of this beautiful gecko was obtained at 
3,000 ft. Snout to vent 55 mm. Above brownish-yellow with 
four broad black bands on the trunk and another on the head 
running from the eyes round the nape, all narrowly edged 
with bright lemon-yellow. Rostrum and limbs brown; a nar- 
row lemon-yellow band between, and in front of, the eyes; 
supra-orbital regions greenish. Tail white with nine broad 
black bands. Under surface deep fleshy-pink.

3 Males, 1 Female. 
Evidently not uncommon on the Peak but the only flying- 
lizard met with. 
3. APHIANOTIS FUSCA (Peters). 
Blgr. p. 64. 
A single specimen was obtained at 2,000 ft. 
4. MABUIA NOVEMCARINATA (And). 
Blgr. p. 82. 
Two small examples of this lizard, rare in the Peninsula, 
were obtained at 3,000 ft. 
Besides the foregoing scink a small lizard, probably 
Lygosoma sp. was frequently observed on the extreme summit 
where it lived among the grass and stones; it was, however, 
too rapid in movement to allow of capture. 
5. TROPIDONOTUS TRIANGULIGERUS, Bole. 
Blgr. p. 125. 
One example from 3,000 ft. taken by the banks of a 
stream.
