I obtained two specimens in April, in a gloomy ravine on the flank 

 of Gunong Ijau (Larnt Hills) at about 4,500 ft. elevation. They were 

 hidden under the debris of rotten plantain leaves along the banks of a 

 small stream, into which they dived directly their hiding place was 

 disturbed. I captured my specimens by groping about the bottom of 

 the pools into which I had seen them jump. The larger of the two 

 measured from snout to vent Bg'o i ncn 6 s ' 



Messrs. Hanitsch and Flower had previously obtained specimens 

 from the same locality. 



Elsewhere it occurs in Southern China, Burma, Sipora (Mentawei 

 Islands), Java, Bornoo, Celebes.
