Abstract
A FEW days ago, on opening the stomach of a young female gecko (Gecko monarchus, a species which occurs fairly commonly in the compound outside our bungalow here), it was found to contain, in addition to a caterpillar and some other remains which I could not identify, a smaller gecko of the same species; this, judging from its position in the stomach, had evidently been eaten head foremost, and was quite entire.
