This species was known from one specimen from the Larut Hills, Perak, 
and a second from Sarawak. 
A single male was obtained on Bukit Besar, 2,500 feet; shot on a tree 
in the clearing. 
Draco punctatus is most nearly related to the Bornean D , cristatellus^ Gthr., 
from which it differs in the stronger caudal crest, in the presence of a dorso¬ 
lateral series of enlarged scales, in the shorter gular appendage, in the rather 
larger upper head-scales, and in the perfectly lateral nostril.

This species is now known to have a wide distribution, as it has been 
recorded from various localities in the Malay Peninsula (Malacca, Singapore, 
Ulu Selama, Bukit Besar) and from Borneo, Sumatra, and the Natuna 
Islands. 
The specimens from Bukit Besar (males) are described as having in 
life the dorsal surface moss-green and black, the ventral surface cream, 
marked with dark brown ; gular pouch black and white; alar membrane 
black, spotted with golden yellow.

* Sides of throat deep claret-colour ; upper surface of alar membranes 
pale gamboge, with five irregular bars of blackish mottling, becoming claret- 
colour towards the outer edge ; a broad subterminal zone of paler claret and 
dull yellow mottled with black.* 
* A pair of this species, probably a male and female, sailed into our 
clearing from the jungle and alighted on a large tree-trunk on several 
occasions, generally towards evening. The last to alight was once or twice 
secured, but the first always escaped. If unmolested, the former chased the 
latter up the tree in a spiral course, until they disappeared among the branches. 
1 The common D . vo/ans has the same habit, and in its case it is easy to 
distinguish the sexes by the colour of their gular appendages. D. vo/ans y
