A second specimen taken in the same locality is young, and 

 agrees in most details with the type. 



Remarks. — This species, Sphenomorphus jagorii, is terrestrial 

 in habit and apparently is distributed throughout the Islands. 

 Stejneger reports a specimen collected by McGregor on Calayan 

 Island, north of Luzon. I found one at Baguio at an elevation 

 of about 1,800 meters. In Mindanao it was very common, as 

 it is in Mindoro and Sulu. These lizards seem to have no 

 burrows but take refuge among rocks, under logs, etc. They are 

 not especially difficult to capture. The young are frequently 

 found in the neighborhood of water. The females lay eggs, 

 but I have never been able to discover where they are placed.
