larger, but is unfortunately merely a dried skin. Mr. Cuming 

 collected this species at Ningpo ; it is therefore not surprising that 

 it should be found in Corea and in Manchuria.

Fine specimen, evidently young, preserved in spirit. It agrees 

 perfectly with Schlegel's description, so does C. inandarinus, Cantor, 

 from Chusan, which I strongly suspect to be the same species. The 

 resemblance of C. conspicillatus to C. leopardinus is very evident.

Both are full-grown, but one is larger ; in both the large shovel- 

 shaped inner metatarsal tubercle is quite distinct, but is especially 

 conspicuous in the smaller specimen. The interrupted narrow 

 glandular folds along the back are also very distinct. As batrachian 

 matters go at present, I do not see why this Eastern Asiatic form 

 should not be considered specifically diflFerent from our common 

 Frog.
