A NEW NAME FOR THE FROG RANA PULLUS. 



By Malcolm. A. Smith, F. Z. S. 



- Mr. Herbert Robinson, Director of F. M. S. Museums, has 

 pointed out to me that the name pullus, under which I recently- 

 described a frog in the Journal of the Federated Malay States 

 Museums, is preoccupied by that of Stoliczka. ( Journ. Asiatic Soc. 

 Bengal, (2), xxxix (1870), p. 142). 



Another name is therefore required, and I take this from 

 Tasan, the type locality, where the species appears to be common. 

 Rana tasanae, nom. nov. 

 Fana pullus, Smith, Journ. F. M. S. Museums, x (June 1921 ), 

 p. 197, pi. 2, fig. 1. 



Type locality, Tasan, 25 miles S. W. of Chumpon, Peninsular 

 Siam.
