separated by a band of blue; these involve the small gular ap- 

 pendage and are interrupted by a narrow blue line which fol- 

 lows its edge; usually fewer dark bands across the back, and 

 suggestions of transverse white bar on upper wing membranes 

 are also present in the female.

Remarks. — This species is common in the upper Agusan Valley. 

 The dracos usually feed on exposed trunks of trees in the after- 

 noon and generally in the sunshine. They are very elusive 

 creatures. Several were obtained for me by Manobo boys by 

 the use of blow guns. Females usually lay two eggs, about 15 

 millimeters long and 9 millimeters wide, finely striated. Speci- 

 mens were obtained in Zamboanga and the species was observed 

 in Tawitawi. 



The type locality is "Philippines." The types were collected 

 by Cuming. Everett collected specimens in Dinagat. 



DRACO MINDANENSIS Stejneger 



Draco mindanensis Stejneger, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 33 (1908) 677. 



Description of type. — (Adult male.) (From Stejneger.) 

 ''Snout as long as diameter of orbit; rostral wide and low, more 

 than twice as wide as high, bordered behind by seven subequal, 

 nearly regularly pentagonal scales and slightly in contact with 

 first supralabial ; nostril directed upward, perfectly vertical, sep- 

 arated from rostral by three rows of scales and from supralabial 

 by three or four scales ; interorbital space narrow ; scales on top 

 of head small, more or less keeled, with a slightly developed 

 median series of larger, keeled scales on top of snout, but with- 

 out any posterior, diverging branches; about five small scales 

 in a line across the middle of the interorbital space and about 

 thirteen across the supraocular region, the outer ones being 

 almost granules, the median ones larger, irregular, hexagonal; 

 a small, blunt spine at posterior end of superciliary margin; 

 occipital shield scarcely differentiated, surrounded by subequal.
