574 DR. 4. GUNTHER ON INDIAN REPTILES. [Nov. 16, 
nied which of the two names ought to be applied, or whether they 
are synonyms. 
IxALUS MONTANUS, sp. n. (Plate LXVI. fig. A.) 
Snout short, as long as the eye, obtusely rounded in front, with 
distinct canthus rostralis. Tongue with a free, pointed papilla in 
the anterior part of the median line. ‘Tympanum hidden below the 
skin. Skin nearly smooth, only in adult examples with some indi- 
stinct tubercles. The length of the body is more than the distance 
between vent and heel. No fold along the tarsus ; metatarsus with 
a small, indistinct tubercle; fingers quite free; toes with a very 
short web ; disks of moderate size. Old examples are nearly en- 
tirely of a dark purplish brown above, with scarcely any markings, 
the posterior side of the femur being marbled with black. Other 
specimens are of a lighter colour, with more Gr less symmetrical 
brown markings, the forehead being light-coloured. Abdomen 
sometimes uniform whitish, sometimes more or less reticulated with 
black. 
Lieut.-Col. Beddome obtained this species on the Kudra Mukh, 
at an elevation of 60U0 feet. One of the largest specimens is 38 
millims. long, the length of the hind limb being 55 millims. 
IxaLus pipLostictus, sp. n. (Plate LXIII. fig. C.) 
Snout of moderate length, rather pointed, with distinct canthus 
rostralis. Tongue with a free, pointed papilla in the anterior part 
of the median line. Tympanum distinct, not quite half the size of 
the eye. Skin of the back with some longitudinal folds. The 
length of the body equals the distance between vent and heel. A 
cutaneous fold along the tarsus, commencing from the single meta- 
tarsal tubercle; fingers quite free; toes slender, with a very short 
web. Disks small. Pinkish olive-coloured, with a black line along 
the canthus rostralis, broader behind the eye, and continued over 
the tympanum. Symmetrical black spots on the sides—one in front 
of the axil, another on the middle of the side of the trunk, a third 
above the loin; one or the other of these spots may be absent. 
Legs with dark cross bars ; anal region and soles of the feet black. 
Abdomen light-coloured ; throat sometimes mottled with brown. 
Several specimens were collected by Lieut.-Col. Beddome in 
Malabar. One of the largest is 27 millims. long, the length of the 
hind limb being 46 millims. 
IXALUS CHALAZODES, sp.n. (Plate LXVI. fig. B.) 
Snout short, as long as the eye, obtusely rounded in front, with 
indistinct canthus rostralis. Tongue with a free, pointed papilla in 
the anterior part of the median line. Tympanum covered by the 
skin. Skin smooth ; but in the inguinal region there are several series 
of white, smooth tubercles; several smaller similar tubercles in the 
anal region and along the tarsus; the length of the body is equal to 
the distance between vent and heel; no fold along the tarsus ; meta- 
tarsus with a small indistinct tubercle; fingers quite free ; toes half-
