Varanus salvator. - We observed a juvenile near the water's edge as it was foraging among the rocks. It was not collected or photographed and thus the record remains unconfirmed. Ahaetulla prasina. - This specimen was not ob- served but reported as present by several of the local inhabitants. Its status thus remains unconfirmed. Broghammerus reticulatus. — One specimen (LSUDPC 5262) was captured by the staff of the resort as it continually returned to the area. The color pattern of this specimen matches the descrip- tion of this species in Tweedie (1983). SERIBUAT ARCHIPELAGO The Seribuat Archipelago lies off the southeast coast of Peninsular Malaysia and has an environmental diversity that is unparalleled by any other island group in Peninsular Malaysia (Grismer etal. 2001a,b, 2006a; Grismer 201 la; Youmans etal. 2002; Escobar et al. 2003a,b; Wood et al. 2003a,b, 2004a,b; J. Grismer et al. 2004; Tamblyn et al. 2005; Grismer 2006a, 2008b; Fig. 6). This is paramount to the generation and maintenance of its herpetofaunal diversity and its broad array of adaptive types (Gris- mer etal. 2006a). The large islands (> km2) such as Aur, Babi Besar, Pemanggil, Tinggi, Tioman, and Sibu generally maintain extensive tracts of primary dipterocarp forest (Fig. 13). The largest of these, Tioman and Tinggi, also maintain significant sourc- es of
