4. Rana tiesier, Gthr. 
Found by Messrs. v. Schlagintweit in Sikkim, and sent by Mr. 
Hodgson from Nepal. 
*5. ToMOPTERNA STRIGATA, Gthr. ‘ 
Found by Messrs. v. Schlagintweit at Simla, Himalaya. This 
species has been described and figured in the Catal. Batr. Sal. p. 20. 
pl. 2. f. A, under the name of Spherotheca strigata, from specimens 
in the British Museum, transmitted by Mr. Jerdon from Madras. 
When, however, during the printing of that catalogue, Sir Andrew 
Smith presented his collection of Reptiles to the British Museum, I 
found in it specimens of a Frog, identical with Spherotheca strigata, 
labelled “‘ Tomopterna delalandii, Cape,” in Sir A. Smith’s own 
hand. I did not venture to doubt such an authority for the reptiles 
of South Africa, and accordingly placed in the Appendix, p. 133, 
the new name as a synonym of the older. But the fact of the species 
now having been found by Messts. v. Schlagintweit in the Himalaya, 
leaves us no other alternative than to suppose either that the species 
occurs in South Africa as well as in the East Indies (which is impro- 
bable in the highest degree), or that Sir A. Smith, who has collected 
reptiles from all parts of the globe, has mistaken the origin of his 
specimens. Spherotheca strigata has, indeed, a great resemblance 
to Tomopterna delalandii ; but it is evident, from a specimen of the 
latter which I have lately examined, that both differ in the form of 
the occiput, which is singularly convex and rounded in the former, 
whilst it is flat in the African species. This character is not suffi- 
cient to found a separate genus on it, and Spherotheca strigata, 
therefore, is to be referred to Tomopterna.
