Indian Species o/Rana. 507 



rostralis and concave loreal region ; nostril nearer the end of 

 the snout than the eye ; interorbital space a little narrower 

 than the upper eyelid ; tympanum distinct, two thirds the 

 diameter of tlie eye. Fingers modei-ate, first not extending 

 quite as far as second ; toes two thirds webbed, the web 

 reaching the disks of the third and fifth ; tips of fingers and 

 toes dilated into small but well-developed disks ; subarticular 

 tubercles moderate ; a single small, oval, inner metatarsal 

 tubercle ; no tarsal fold. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches 

 halfway between the eye and the end of the snout. Skin of 

 back with small, scattered, longitudinal warts ; a strong fold 

 from the eye to the shoulder. Brown above, with small dark 

 spots ; limbs with dark transverse bands ; lower parts v/hite, 

 throat mottled with brown. 



From snout to vent 33 millim. 



Closely allied to R. Beddomii^ Gthr., but distinguished by 

 the shorter inner finger. 



Matheran, Bombay. A single (female) specimen, pre- 

 sented by Dr. Leith. 



Rana Jiimalayana. 



Vomerine teeth in two oblique series, forming a very open 

 angle, on a level with the posterior border of the choange, 

 which are unusually small. Head much depressed, broader 

 than long ; snout short, rounded ; canthus rostralis obtuse ; 

 loreal region concave ; nostril a little nearer the eye than the 

 tip of the snout ; interorbital space as broad as' the upper eye- 

 lid ; tympanum not or but slightly distinct, hardly one third 

 the diameter of the eye. Fingers very long, dilated into very 

 large disks, which measure more than half the diameter of 

 the eye ; inner finger with small distal expansion, as long as 

 the second minus the distal disk ; third finger at least as long- 

 as the distance between the end of the snout and the tym- 

 panum. Toes moderate, much depressed, webbed to the 

 disks, which are smaller than those of the fingers ; subarti- 

 cular tubercles large ; an oval, flat, inner metatarsal tu- 

 bercle ; no outer tubercle ; no tarsal fold. Tibio-tarsal arti- 

 culation reaching beyond the tip of the snout ; tibia as long 

 as the trunk. Skin smooth above, with small granules on 

 the sides and temples ; no lateral fold ; a rather feeble supra- 

 temporal fold ; belly and proximal under surface of thighs granu- 

 late. Oliveor greyish above, with rather indistinct large, round, 

 darker spots on the body and cross bands on the limbs ;
