A LIST OF TRAVANCORE BATRACHTANS. 509 



31. Bufo fergusonii. — The type of this species was found in a hole 

 in the parade ground in Trevandrum and was described by Mr. Boulen- 

 ger in this journal (Vol. VII, p. 317) ; since then I have secured many 

 specimens. A favourite place for them is in white- ants' nests. They 

 are very slow in their movements and run oftener than hop. In 

 captivity they do not seem to be at all put out by being handled. I 

 have not as yet found the tadpoles. 



ORDER : APODA. 

 Family : CcBciliidoR. 



32. Icthjophis glutinosus. — Fairly common on the hills. I have 

 not found either eggs or young. 



33. Urceotyphlus oxyunis. — A single specimen of this was taken at 

 Ponmudi at an elevation of 2,500 feet. 



34. Gegenophis carnosus. — A single specimen taken at Kallaar at 

 the foot of the hills at about 500 feet elevation.
