The fine specimens obtained by M. Fea prove beyond doubt 
to belong to the species named Polypedates lividus by Blyth, 
and also to be unseparable from Gunther’s P. chloronotus. As, 
on the other hand, there is no evidence of this species being 
Blyth’s prior P. smaragdinus (+), it must bear the name Rana 
livida. 
Several tadpoles obtained in the Meekalan are so nearly allied 
to those of Rana afghana (cf. Ann. Mus. Genova, ser. 2, vol. V, 
p. 419), though different, that I am inclined to regard them 
as belonging to R. livida. Their preservation is not sufficiently 
(1) Blyth’s description consists merely of the following words: « We have a still 
finer Tree Frog from the Naga Hills, Assam (P. smaragdinus, nobis). Length of 
- head and body 31/, in. ; hind limb 51/, in. Wholly green above, changing in spirit 
to livid-blue; under parts pale ».
