Examination of the long series of specimens in the collection 

 of the zoological department of the University of the Philippines 

 tends to confirm the views which I expressed when giving an 

 account of the material in the Indian Museum: namely, that of 

 all the varieties which have been recognized by distinct names 

 only one, variety platysoma Wood-Mason (with which form G = 

 acutus Lanchester is apparently synonymous), can be sustained. 



All of the specimens listed above, in my opinion, are examples 

 of Gonodactylus chiragra, sensu stricto. Under the records of
