shape measuring 9x5 mm. In captivity it took bluebottles 

 readily. 



Ehampholeon' kerstenii (Peters). 

 Blgr. Cat. Liz. iii. 1887, p. 175. 



Two females, the largest, Yoi (19.vi. 16), measuring 3^ inches 

 (62'28 mm.). The other, collected at Gonya (29. v. 16), measures 

 just over 3 inches (51*26 mm.). A third specimfen, probably of 

 this species, was caught crossing the road at Handeni, but lost in 

 transit. 



The Gonya specimen was caught holding on to the edge of a 

 fragment of bark with its right side pressed to the bole of 

 a stump. Every peculiar angle of its head and body seemed to 

 assist in the deception — the colouring was perfect. Two yards 

 away a second specimen was found crawling out of the stream, 

 into which it had evidently been tumbled by natives engaged in 

 clearing bush and undergrowth. It subsequently escaped.
