Bukit Timah, Singapore, by Dr. Hanitsch of the Raffles Museum in 

 February 1896 and now in the British Museum. 



The colouring of this frog is particularly pretty, but fades rapidly in 

 the spirit specimen. The following description was jotted down from 

 the living example : 



Above bright reddish orange, the body and limbs spotted with 

 irregular sharply defined patches of cream colour. Beneath clear 

 brownish orange, the lips with spots and the throat with patches of 

 cream colour. Abdomen white with sharply contrasted blotches of 

 greenish black ; the white of the abdomen commencing in a point en 

 the pectoral region and abruptly separated from, not blending into, the 

 orange of the sides. Edges of limbs and feet minutely spotted with 

 yellowish. 



Iris, above the pupil golden, beneath pupil bronze brown. 



Also known from Borneo.

Described fro;n a few specimens obtained by Mr. L. Wray at 3,3C0 

 feet on the LaruL Hills. Mr. Wray kindly gave mo one of those 

 caught at the same time as the types ; it has faded in spirit during the 

 lapse of fourteen years to a dull whitish colour. In April 1900 I 

 got three examples on the Larut Hills at 3,500 to 4,000 feet. 



Above ashy grey, on the back a large mark shaped like a broken- 

 pointed arrow-head directed forwards ; this mark is greyish brown, 

 indistinctly edged with rich burnt sienna, and brightening into olive 

 green on the sides. Head below the eyes blackish tinged with burnt 

 sienna. Limbs bluish grey with some black bars. Lower surface of 

 head and throat black ; remaining lower parts light bluish grey, with 

 black patches at the bases of the forelimbs and the abdomen boldly 

 mottled with blackish. 



All three of my specimens were identical in colour. 

 Flower states that this frog has been taken in Burma as well as the 

 Malay Peninsula.
