206 DR. J. ANDERSON ON INDIAN REPTILES. [Feb. 21, 



Pale plumbeous brown above (in spirit) ; in some a very obscure 

 pale line along tbe lateral fold ; a dark brown band from the eye along 

 the side, with a darker margin below the glandular fold. On the 

 sides in some, below this band, a few dark-brown spots between the 

 axils, tending to form a second dark band, separated from the other 

 by a broad pale interval. A dark line from the eye to the snout ; 

 upper lip dark anteriorly, paling to yellowish on the glands behind 

 the mouth. Under surface dirty yellowish, obscurely spotted with 

 brown in some ; two longitudinal lateral brown streaks on tbe throat 

 and thorax ; back of the thighs and under surface of the legs strongly 

 marbled with blackish over a yellowish ground ; upper surface of 

 thighs finely reticulately barred, and legs broadly barred with 

 brownish ; under surface of thighs brown-spotted. 



No. 1 is Blyth's type. This species is closely allied to R. macu- 

 laria, Blyth, from which it is distinguished by its shorter an d less 

 pointed snout, smaller feet, and coloration. 



This species inhabits Pegu. 



Hylorana nicobariensis, Stoliczka, Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, 

 xxxix. p. 150, pi. 9. fig. 2. 



Habit slender. Snout rather narrow and tapering ; upper jaw pro- 

 jecting but little beyond the lower ; canthus rostralis triangular, 

 rounded, with the nostril slightly below it, and much nearer the end 

 of the snout than the eye ; loreal region longitudinally concave ; tym- 

 panum distinct, nearly as large as the eye. Vomerine teeth on two. 

 short feebly developed slightly oblique processes near the internal mar- 

 gin of the choanse, but separated by a wide interspace. Tongue cor- 

 date, pointed anteriorly, and not very deeply notched. Disks small. 

 Limbs slender and rather long. The first finger is almost as long as 

 the fourth, and is about the same length as the second ; the third is 

 about one-third longer than the fourth. Subarticular tubercles large. 

 From the vent to the heel is a little shorter than the body. The 

 fourth toe is a little less than one-half of the body. Two rather 

 small metatarsal tubercles ; the inner one short and oblong, and the 

 outer one round and but little smaller than the former. Toes rather 

 feebly webbed, the membrane reaching to the extremities of the third 

 and fifth toes. Skin quite smooth. Dr. Stoliczka gives the following 

 measurements of the two largest specimens : —
