Fam. Agamic^. The folloT^ing knbwti species have been 
figured by Gunther, Rept. Brit. Ind. 
Ceratophora stoddariii (Gray), pi. 13. figs. F, F', F"; Cophotis ceylanica 
(Peters), pi. 13. fig. Il; Caloies nigrilahris (Peters), pi. 14. figs. D, D'; Acan- 
thosaura earn'd (Gthr.), pi. 14. fig. F ; Aednthosaura cordnata (Gthr.), pi. 14. 
fig. E ; Physignatkus meiitager (Gthr.), pi. 16. 
Dr. Gunther, 1. c., gives descriptions of all the species oi Draco 
known, fourteen in number ; he adds the following new ones t — 
D. reticulatUS, p. 125, arid D. himdetdatn^, p. 127, frolii the Philippine Is- 
lands; D. cormdns, p. 125, from Borneo; D. rostrattis, p. 127, probably from 
the same island. — D. mamlatm, Gray, D. dussumieri, B. & B., and D. tmiid- 
pteruSj Gthr., are figured on plate 13. 
Dr. Gunther states (p. 139) that Calotes and Bronchoceld are 
two geographically very distinct genera, the former being found 
on the continent of India only, whilst the latter is almost entirely 
confined to the alchipelago ; both geiiera, however, intermingle 
with each other in Siam. 
Mecolepis, Dum^ril, with the three species established by that author, has 
proved to be identical with Salea, Gray : see Gunther, p. 145.
