A single specimen formed part of a small collection of 

 Batrachians made at Gensan, Corea, and presented to the 

 Natural-History Museum by J. H. Leech, Esq. The other 

 species are: Rana escuienta^ yqx. japonicaj Bufo vulgaris^ and 

 Hyla arhorea, var. Savignyi. 



Finding that the name Anaides, given by Baird in 1849 

 to a genus of Plethodontine newts {cf. Cat. Batr. Caud. p. 52) 

 is preoccupied (Westwood, 1841), I propose to change it to 

 Autodax.
