crepancy also apparent in the figure of the type^®, but that may be 

 due to a difference in the state of preservation of the two specimens, 

 as the total width between outer edges of eyelids, 10 mm., is identi- 

 cal in both.

Mr. Sowerby collected a single specimen (U.S.N.M. No. 65266) 

 near Yenpingfu, Fukien. Total length is 53 mm., consequently as 

 large as the Tonkin specimens measured by Boulenger and con- 

 siderably larger than the types (32 and 38 mm.), 



RANA ADENGPLEURA Boulenger 



1909. Rana adenopleura Boxilhjnger, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (ser. 8), vol. 

 4, December, 1909, p. 492 (type locality, Fuhacho village, 4,000 feet 

 altitude, Formosa; cotypes in Brit. Mus.; H. Sauter, collector); Rec. 

 Indian Mus., vol. 20, 1920, p. 139 (Formosa). 



A single specimen (No. 65248) of this rare frog, originally de- 

 scribed from Formosa, was collected by Sowerby at Yenpingfu, 

 Fukien, thus adding still another to the species of batrachians com- 

 mon to this province and Formosa. It agrees closely with Boul- 

 enger's description, except that the dorso-lateral fold starts from 

 the upper eyelid and not " from above the tympanum." To his 

 description I may add that the disks of the toes are broadly lance-
