It has been found, apparently, in Senegal, Old Calabar, and 
the Gaboon. 
Dr Smith quoted the following account of the cry of the 
creature from a letter he had received from Mr Hewan : — 
" This cry it is difficult for me to describe. Of all sounds 
that I can think of, the most like is that of a cricket, but 
more intensified. It runs steadily up the musical scale, and 
embraces about two octaves, or rather more, increasing in 
rapidity towards the end, and the whole in well finished 
staccato." 
2. Chawteleon fasciatus^ n. s. ? 
Dr Smith exhibited a specimen of chameleon, which 
differed from the common species, and might be new. It 
apparently belongs to the Genus Chamceleon of Dr Gray's 
" Kevision of the Genera and Species of the ChamcEleo^iidce," 
just published in the "Annals of Natural History.'*' 
This chameleon has the nose simple, and the occiput 
slightly produced and rounded, with a raised central keel, 
and an oval-shaped depression pointing outward and for- 
ward on each side of it ; the upper part of the head and 
occiput are covered with flat, somewhat hexagonal-shaped 
scales, and the rest of the head with rounded ones. There is 
a small distinct flap projecting behind and on each side of the 
occipital protuberance ; which is covered with large rounded 
scales. The head is light-coloured above, with a twin spot 
of black in front, and is mottled transversely with grey and 
white on the sides ; it measures, 1/o-ths of an inch in length ! 
from point of snout to extremity of occipital protuberance ; ] 
from point of snout to front of orbit, it measures nearly a^o^hs i 
of an inch, the orbit across nearly /o-^^s^ ^.nd from back of \ 
orbit to extremity of occipital protuberance l^^ths of an inch. 
The small occipital flap projects about 2\th. of an inch beyond 
the protuberance, and measures altogether about sSths of 
an inch across. There is no distinct dentated crest on the 
back, chin, or belly ; a yellowish-white stripe of scales, be- 
coming larger and more distinct on the abdomen, extends 
from the chin to the anus. The scales of the body are 
unequal, larger ones being scattered over the sides, and all
