One other example from Tore river is almost unicolor above, 

 and the pores of the dorsal warts are swollen up into minute pus- 

 tules. These peculiarities are probably due to the very strong for- 

 malin solution in which this specimen was preserved. 



Hyla chinensis immaculata Boetger. 



Three specimens of Tree Toads from near Tore river are referred 

 to this form, though lack of material for comparison makes a satis- 

 factory identification difficult. One individual is practically 

 immaculate, the others have indistinct dusky spots on the sides 

 and obscure bands on the legs, and mottlings on the backs of the 

 tibise and tarsi.
