60 BARBOUR — ASIATIC AMPHIBIA AND REPTILIA [P)3P-A 8: 
Rana nigromaculata Hallowell. 
Hallowell, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1860, p. 500. 
Stejneger, Herp. of Japan, 1907, pp. 94-100. 
There are specimens of this species in the Museum of Compara- 
tive Zodlogy from Pekin, China (M. C. Z., no. 1701), and also from 
Kanagawa, Japan (M. C. Z., 1611). These latter are the types of 
Cope’s Tomopterna porosa. In the Owston collection was a very 
large specimen from Antung, Manchuria. This was with the new 
genus Cacopoides; but as the species is widely spread in eastern 
Asia, this is not conclusive proof that the new genus must have come 
from Manchuria. Rana nigromaculata is, however, very character- 
istic of this locality. 
Rana temporaria Linné. 
Linné, Syst. Nat., 1758, I, p. 212. 
Stejneger, Herp. of Japan, 1907, pp. 113-116. 
Two specimens from Yezo (Hokkaido), Japan. A third speci- 
men in the bottle differs considerably from these two. It is, I 
think, almost surely a young R. japonica. Stejneger’s work shows 
that the Yezo records for this species “need confirmation.” ‘This 
frog is too young to identify with certainty, but it seems very likely 
that both the above species do occur on this island. 
Polypedates viridis Hallowell. 
Hallowell, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1860, p. 500. 
Stejneger, Herp. of Japan, 1907, pp. 147-149. 
A single example from the type locality, Okinawa shima, Riu 
Kiu Archipelago, Owston collection. With no examples of P. 
schlegelit at hand, I cannot verify the questions regarding the dis- 
similarity of these two species, which Stejneger has raised. 
This species is reported common on this one group, to which it 
seems to be confined.
