138 LIZARDS OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 



of the nuchal crest being narrower and more elongate than 

 those of the dorsal. There are eleven spines in the nuchal crest 

 in the males. The single female specimen in the lot has a high 

 nuchal crest composed of eight spines; the dorsal crest is lower 

 than in the males. An adult male specimen from Camarines 

 has the high nuchal crest composed of nine spines followed by 

 a low serrate dorsal crest; the nostril is smaller and more pos- 

 terior than in other specimens examined. There are sixty-five 

 scale rows around the body. The body (in alcohol) is bluish 

 lavender with dim brown spots or dots, the last half of tail 

 is very light gray without annulations. The number of scale 

 rows around the middle of the body varies between fifty and 

 seventy-five in the specimens examined. 



Remarks. — ^The species is distributed over Luzon, Mindoro, 

 Negros, and Panay. I question whether it is to be found in 

 Mindanao where it seems to be replaced by a variety of Calotes 

 cristatellus. The eggs of this species are spindle-shaped; two 

 eggs are laid at one time.

 posed of ten narrow lajiceolate spines; the dorsal crest is low, 

 serrate.
