It is interesting to find two such closely allied species occurring 

 in practically the same locality, as I have no doubt whatever that 

 M. muUifasciata occurs also at Kuala Lipis, though specimens were 

 qoI ad ually collected. 



On the other hand, it is practically certain that M. siamensis is 

 not found west of the main range, and it is, therefore, possible that on 

 Ihe east coast M. muUifasciata owes its introduction to human agency, 

 as is the case with Gecko verticillatus in Singapore and the Straits 

 Settlements generally. — H. C. R.]
