16, 8 Taylor: Philippine Amphibia B17 
Some specimens from Negros and Mindanao, when first taken, 
were almost uniform flesh pink on the back, with bright carmine 
spots on the posterior part of thighs and tibia and on the anterior 
part of femur and about groin. The Mindanao specimens were 
darkest, and those in the collection from Negros; lightest. There 
are specimens in my collection from Luzon, Mindanao, and Ne- 
gros. Boettger reports the species from Tablas. Outside the 
Philippines, it is known in Ceram, New Guinea, the Kei Islands, 
the Bismarck Islands, and Halmaheira. I believe it has not 
been taken in Borneo.
