BATRACH1ANS OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 203 



Borneo ; the second by Mr. L. Wray, Jr., in the Piah Valley, Upper 

 Perak; the third by Mr. A. D. Machado in Pahang. 



Each of these examples has been fully described : the references are 

 given above. 



The second and third specimens are presorved in the Perak and 

 Singapore Museums. 



Length from snout to vent in these specimens 80, 84 and 98 millim. 



The claim of this and some allied species to the name of " Flying," 

 Froo- still, I believe, rests on the statement of a Chinaman to Mr. 

 Wallace that he saw one fly from one tree to another.

About six or eight specimens of this curious frog were obtained by 

 Mr. Wray at 4,000 ft. on the Larut Hills. They were all taken at the 

 same spot, the vicinity of a stream on the flank of Gunong Ijau, about 

 a mile from the " Cottage." After failing to find a single specimen 

 during three different visits to the hills— of two months, a week, and 

 a month— I got Mr. Wray to direct me to the exact spot, which I 

 searched diligently for several mornings, but in vain. Flower quotes 

 Mr. Wray as saying that it "lives in holes in trees, etc." ; Mr. Wray 

 told me he caught all his on the trunks of trees, upon which it was 

 very difficult to detect owing to its roughened reddish brown back 

 harmonizing so well with the bark. Possibly Mr. W ray's note was 

 confused with one relating to another species. Thero is a good cast 

 of this frog, done by Mr. Wray, in the Perak Museum. 



Habitat. — Malay Peninsula, Sumatra.

On the 22nd of March 1900 my friend ,Mr. A. Hale, with whom I 

 was collecting on the Larut Hills, detected and pointed out, to me 

 one of these very beautiful little tree-frogs which was sitting on a stick 

 among some dead leaves at the side of a path in jungle at 4,000 ft. 

 elevation. The species wos originally known from Borneo, and the 

 only other specimen recorded from the Peninsula is one caught on
