BATRACHIANS FROM BURMA 42] 
wardti. In his notes addressed to Marquis Doria, M. Fea drew 
attention to this adhesive organ, and to the fact that the tadpoles 
were obtained in rapid streams running down the Kakhien 
Hills. 
The following is a short description of this tadpole : 
Width of body two-thirds its length; spiraculum sinistral, 
equally distant from the end of the snout and the base of the 
tail. Beak strong, black; lips much developed, not fringed, with 
black lamelle, three uninterrupted across the upper lip, five on 
each side of the upper lip, and three across the lower lip, the 
inner one interrupted mesially. Adhesive disk a little longer 
than broad, truncate anteriorly, lateral and posterior borders 
free; the posterior border of its attached portion on a line with 
the spiraculum. Tail about once and a halt the length of the 
body, pointed, the upper crest commencing at a short distance 
from the body. 
These specimens show that the tadpoles referred to Rana 
afghana by Gunther (Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 81) and which, in lack 
of evidence to the contrary, I maintained under that name 
(2.* ed. p. 70), notwithstanding their resemblance to those of 
R. alticola, belong to a different species, in all probability to the 
last-named. This fact affords an other proof of the non occurrence 
of R. afghana in Afghanistan, whence the tadpoles were stated 
to have been obtained together with the adult specimen, type 
of Gunther’s description. The name afghana will therefore have 
to be cancelled; and if the frog be referred to the genus Rana, 
the name marmorata, Blyth, 1856, is likewise untenable as 
preoccupied in the genus (Py.xicephalus marmoratus, Peters, 1855). 
12. Rhacophorus maculatus, Gray. 
Bhamo; Teinzò in the Kakhien Hills. 
13. Ixalus vittatus, sp. n. 
Snout pointed, scarcely longer than the diameter of the orbit: 
canthus rostralis obtuse; loreal region slightly concave; nostril 
slightly nearer the end of the snout than the eye; interorbital space 
broader than the upper eyelid; tympanum hidden. Fingers with a 
rudiment of web; toes three-fourths webbed; disks well developed;
