Lists Hylorana erythraea Schlegel (= Rana erythraea Schlegel), 
Rana everetti Boulenger, Megalophrys montana Kuhl, and Microhyla

GUNTHER, ALBERT. Catalogue of the Batrachia Salientia in the Collection 
of the British Museum. London (1858) i-xvi + 1-160, pls. 1-13. 
In this early catalogue the following new species are described 
from the Philippines: Oxyglossus levis, from ‘Philippine Islands;” 
Ixalus natator (= Staurois natator), from the “Philippines,” Rhaco- 
phorus pardalis (= Polypedates pardalis), from “Philippines” and 
Borneo, and Polypedates appendiculatus. Platymantis plicifera is also 
described as new from the Philippines, but this species is the same 
as Cornufer corrugata A. Duméril. Excellent drawings of all these 
species, except P. appendiculatus, are given. The types were collected 
(very probably) by Hugh Cuming.

Basler Museums (1883). 
A few Philippine species are mentioned, among which are Necto- 
phryne sundana Peters and Megalophrys montana Kuhl. These are 
very probably incorrectly identified.
