BATRACHIANS OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 205 



I reproduce Mr. Boulenger's description : 



" Snout rounded or obtusely pointed, as long as the diameter of the 

 orbit ; canthus rostralis distinct ; loreal region concave ; nostril a 

 little nearer the end of the snout than the eye ; interorbital space as 

 broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum moderately distinct, half the 

 diameter of the eye. Fing9rs free ; toas half-webbod ; disks of 

 fingers as large as the tympanum; subarticular tubercles moderate; 

 a small inner metatarsal tubercle. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches 

 between the eye and the tip of the snout. Upper parts smooth or 

 with small flat warts ', throat, belly, and lower surface of thighs 

 granulate. Grey-brown or reddish-brown above, with dark brown 

 symmetrical markings, a cross-band between the eyes being constant ; 

 usually a )( or ) — ( marking on the anterior part of the body ; 

 side3 of body and of thighs with white spots between a brown net- 

 work ; limb3 with dark cross-bands ; lower parts white, spotted or 

 speckled with brown. 



il From snout to vent 35 millim." 



SO. IXALUS YERMICUI.ATUS. Blgr. 



Ixalus vermiculatus, Bouleng., Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), Vol, 

 VI, Aug. 1900, p. 187. 



I obtained three specimens in April 1900 on the Larut Hills at an 

 elevation of 4,000 feet. They were taken among the ferns, moss, etc., 

 on the banks of the bridle-road leading to the Cottage. 



Mr. Boulenger describes the species thus : 



"Head large, broader than long; snout rounded, as long as 

 the diameter of the orbit • canthus rostralis distiuct ; loreal region 

 concave ; nostril a little nearer the end of the snout than the 

 eye ; interorbital space as broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum 

 distinct, two-fifths the diameter of the eye. Fingers with a rudi- 

 ment of web ; toes half-webbed ; disks of fingers as large as the 

 tympanum ; subarticular tubercles moderate ; a small inner meta- 

 tarsal tubercle. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches between the 

 eye and the tip of the snout. Upper parts smooth ; throat, belly, 

 and lower surface of thighs granulate. Olive-green above, closely 

 vermiculate with black ; upper surface of thighs with a series of 

 large black blotches ; sides of thighs and anal region orange-yellow ; 

 white beneath. Male with a large gular vocal sac. 



" From snout to vent 33 millim."
