1920.] G. A. Boui,ENGER : Fro^s of the Genus Rana. 69 



Sides of body warty, large elongate smooth warts being inter- 

 mixed with small round ones ; posterior part of upper eyelid warty ; 

 a glandular fold from the eye to the shoulder. 



Olive brown above, with rather indistinct darker spots and a 

 blackish, white-edged ocellus at the hip- joint ; interrupted dark 

 cross-bands on the limbs ; lower parts dirty white, 



jVIales with internal vocal sacs ; arms extremely thickened ; a 

 patch of black spines on each side of the breast and others on the 

 inner side of the first and second fingers. 



From snout to vent 92 millim. 



Described from a single specimen, from the Kakhien hills, 

 Burma, forming part of the collection made by the late L- Fea for 

 the Genoa Museum. A second specimen, from Hotha, Yunnan, is 

 stated by Mr. W. Sclater to be preserved in the Indian Museum. 



Distinguished from R. liehigii by the distinct tympanum, the 

 longer irmer finger, the shorter hind limb, the presence of a tarsal 

 fold, and the absence of dorso-lateral folds. 



28. Rana yunnanensis. 



Rana yiinnanensis, Anders., Anat.Zool. Res. Yunnan, p. 839, pi. Ixxviii, 

 fig- 2 (1879). 



This species rests on Anderson's description and figure ; the 

 types, Dr. Annandale informs me, are not to be found in the Indian 

 Museum, and are probably' lost. 



Anderson's description is here reproduced : — 



' ' Head broader than long ; the snout rounded and somewhat 

 pointed; nostril nearer the snout than the eye; canthus rostralis 

 feeble; tympanum visible, but indistinct, half the size of the eye; 

 a glandular fold from the eye over the tympanum to the shoulder ; 

 vomerine teeth but little developed and in two short oblique ridges 

 on the inner side of the choanae, convergent behind, but separated 

 from each other by a wide interval. Openings of the internal nos- 

 trils small, round, those of the eustachian tubes very small. 

 Tongue free, cordate, deeply notched. A feeble fold along the 

 metatarsus and along the first toe enclosing a small but strong 

 laterally compressed sharp-edged crescentic tubercle, a fold along 

 the fifth toe. Fingers tapering, tips not enlarged ; the first, second 

 and fourth subequal in size, the third slightly longer than the 

 second; a few minute horny spines on the upper surface of the 

 thumb. Toes incompletely webbed, the membrane emarginate, 

 reaching to the extremities of all the toes but the fourth ; fourth 

 toe one-third longer than the third. Upper surface densely 

 covered with round w^arty tubercles, each surmounted by a small 

 black horny granule. Smooth beneath. Uniform greenish ohve- 

 brown, with obscure dark bands from the orbit to the lip and on 

 the upper surface of the limbs ; under surface brownish-yellow, 

 reticulately spotted with deep iDrown. From the vent to the 

 metatarsal tubercle is rather more than the length of the body." 



From snout to vent 73 millim. 



Habitat. Hotha, Yunnan, altitude 5000 feet.
