One, however, is from the Philippines and two forms were obtained in Malaya. The type of one species was presented to me by Mr. Harold Young of Chiang Mai who collected it at the base of Doi Suthep, a mountain some five kilometers northwest of the city of Chiang Mai. Two species of lizards were loaned to me by Miss Alice Grandison of the British Museum of Natural History with permission to describe them. One small snake was loaned by Dr. Doris Cochran of the U. S. National Museum with permission to describe it. I am under obligation to Dr. Adair Fehlmann who assisted in the capture of the type of a species of Peropus that bears his name. (209)
