Habitat. — Blanford found A. micropholis locally throughout 

 Baluchistan, much less abundant in the lower elevations near the 

 coast than A. cantoris, but apparently replacing that species completely 

 at elevations above lO'JO metres. Three specimens were obtained in 

 S.E. Persia, but the species appears to be absent from the highlands 

 of Persia, where, hitherto, no Acanthodactyls have been observed.
