30 HERPETOLOGY OF BORNEO. 



03. BuFO ASPER Gravenh. 



Baram station; Mt. Dnlit. 5000 feet. 



64. BuFO QUADRTPORCATUS Bouleng. 



Saratok; Bidi; Kuching; Mt. Poi. 3000 feet. 



65. BuFO DTVERGENS Peters. 



Mt. Matann-; Mt. Gadin. 



66. BuFO SPiNriJFER Mocnnard. 



5 examples from Mt. Gadin. 



Bnfo spinvlifer was described in 1890 from three examples 

 obtained on Mt. Kinabaln and does not seem to have been met 

 M'ith since. 



The specimens mentioned above, with the exception of one 

 which is a juvenile, are from two-thirds to three-quarters 

 ,210 wn. They aqree well with Mocqnard's descrintion except 

 that the lateral tubercles, instead of being confluent into a thick 

 ridge as indir'ated in the fi.qfnre. are broken no into a chain of 

 warts. Moreover it cannot be said that thp warts npon the 

 back generally, are arranged in anv definite longitudinal series. 

 The tvmpannra is very distinct in one and is two-thirds the 

 diameter of the evp. it is less distinct in the others and is abont 

 half the diameter of the eve : the tibio-tarsal articulation 

 reaches the tip of the snout in two examples: the toes are 

 about one-third webbed. The colour is as in the description. 



67. BuFO B0RB0N7CA Boie. 



Necfophryne horhonira. van Kampen, Amphib. Tndo-Austr. Archipel., 

 1923. p. 70. 



11 specimens from Mt. Poi at between 3000 and 5000 feet 

 altitude : 15 from Mt. Penrissen at between 2000 and 4500 feet. 



In the absence of any true dilatation of the finger-tips, and in 

 the rudimentary character of the web of the fingers if present 

 at all, this toad appears to me to partake more of the character 

 of Biifo than of Necfophryne. and T have therefore placed it 

 under the former genus. 



Boulenger has recorded his Bufo jerboa from Mt. Penrissen, 

 and the very close resemblance of his description of jerboa to 

 that of borbonira leads me to believe that the two species will 

 have to be united. Without his actual material for comparison 

 I do not care to do so.
