XII, D, 6 Taylor: Snakes and Lizards of Negros 371 



Draco spilopterus Weigmann. 



Reported from Negros by Boulenger. No specimen has been 

 taken by me. 



Hydrosaurus pustulosus Eschscholtz. • 



Many of these lizards have been observed, but only tvt'o speci- 

 mens are present in the collection, both captured by Mr. Mc- 

 Namara at La Gran j a. They agree very well with specimens 

 from Mindoro, but the dorsal scales seem larger than those from 

 Polillo, and there are several more femoral pores on each side. 



Calotes marmoratus Gray. 



A single specimen of what appears to be this species was 

 collected in Negros by Mr. W. Schultze, who presented it to me. 

 It had been preserved in formalin and is brown with black spots 

 and lines. The specimen is halfgrown, with a small dorsal crest. 



Gonyocephalus sophise Gray. 



There is a single specimen in the collection of the Bureau of 

 Science, which was collected by Mr. C. S. Banks. It is an 

 adult male, with the nuchal and dorsal crests well developed and 

 continuous. A specimen of what appeared to be this species was 

 observed near Isabela, but it escaped before capture was possible. 



Varanus nuchalis Giinther. 



There are four specimens in the collection. Three were taken 

 by myself at Hinigaran, and the fourth by Mr. McNamara at 

 La Gran j a. One specimen from the eastern coast of the island 

 was uniformly dark, having no yellow spots. This species is 

 very common about the cane fields and ascends some distance into 

 the mountains. 



Mabuya multiearinata Gray. 



This species is abundant in Negros. It ascends more than 

 halfway to the summit of Canlaon. There are several specimens 

 in the collection. 



Mabuya multifasciata Kuhl. 



Common in Negros, where it grows to a more robust size than 

 was found in Mindanao. The males and the females are dis- 

 tinctly different in coloration. The male is uniform bluish 

 green, with an orange lateral spot during the breeding season; 

 above the female is brown, with each scale black-edged, form- 

 ing indistinct longitudinal lines; laterally, dark with numerous 

 black-edged, greenish white ocelli.
