18/2.] HIMALAYAN, AND OTHER REPTILES. 403 



Persia. The largest is a very characteristically and highly marked 

 specimen, measuring 3" 11'" in length, and the hind limb 4" 3'". 

 The coloration is exactly that of Laurenti's figure*. The others are 

 young, and their colours are comparatively dull, the spots fewer and 

 even proportionally smaller than in the adult. 



The Museum collector also gathered, in the Himalayas, on his 

 way to Ladak, seven specimens of a toad agreeing in every way with 

 the young specimens from Shiraz. This species, however, had been 

 previously obtained at Simla by Dr. Stoliczka.

I have received a young specimen of this frog from the Garo 

 Hills, to the east of the Brahmaputra. The area between the two 

 glandular lines is deep black ; and there is a narrow black band 

 along the dorsal margin of the uppermost glandular fold from above 

 the eye to the side of the vent. The posterior surface of the fore 

 and hind limbs marbled with deep brownish, a light line from the 

 vent along the back of the thigh. In all its other characters it 

 agrees with the characters given by Giinther. 



Length of body 1" |'" ; vent to heel 1 If". 



This species appears to extend as far west as Eastern Bengal, the 

 fauna of which is decidedly much more Malayan than Indian pro- 

 perly so called.

 p. 83, 84 ; Anders. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1871, p. 210. 



I have received twelve specimens of this handsome species from 

 the southern slopes of the Shillong plateau of the Khasia hills. 



The largest specimen measures as follows : — 



Snout to vent 1" 7'" ; vent to tip of fourth toe 2" 6 1'" ; vent to 

 knee 8f" ; knee to heel 8|'" ; heel to tip of fourth toe 1" J '" ; 

 length of fourth toe 8'". These measurements of the hind limb 

 show the difference of only | of a line between the dimensions of it 

 and of the specimen formerly described by me.

This Museum has received seven other specimens of this frog from 

 Shillong, on the Khasia hills. They in no way differ from the ori- 

 ginal specimens from which the species was described. 



Hyla arborea, Linn. 



The specimens from the undermentioned locality have the dark 



lateral streak narrow and margined by a broader yellowish-white 



line. A dark transverse band over the vent, margined above with a 



pale band similar to the former. A pale dark streak from the knee
