There are no reptiles iu India in such a confused state as the 

 Ranidce, and I can add but little towards disentangling the shadowy 

 species, real enough perhaps, but not as yet characterised. The series 

 in the Museum is a very poor one, and the JRanidce from all parts of 

 India must be assiduously collected, before sound results can be 

 obtained. Let us hope that an urgent appeal for frogs from all 

 quarters of India will be liberally responded to by local naturalists 

 and collectors, without which aid the sul)ject must long remain in its 

 present unsatisfactory state. Each contributor should not send 

 merely the most conspicuous frogs from his neighbourhood, but all 

 the species and varieties he can procure.
