346 MR. W. L. SCLATER ON SPECIMENS OF [May 3, 



another name. Hylorana leptoglossa. Cope, the second name in 

 Boulenger's list of synonyms, also refers to a species with a thick 

 and heavy glandular lateral fold, and must therefore be referred to 

 R. erythrcea too ; of Hylorana pijnens, Jerdon, the specific name 

 "pipiens" is already engaged; Hylorana granulosa, Anderson, 

 refers to a different species altogether (see below). 



The type of Limnodytes nigrovittatus (Blyth, Journ. As. Soc. 

 Beng. xxiv. 1855, p. 718) is still in the Indian Museum, and an 

 examination of it shows that it must clearly be referred to Bou- 

 lenger's Rana tytleri. The species will therefore stand under the 

 name Rana nigrovittata (Blyth). 



There are examples of this species in the Museum from all parts 

 of Assam, Cachar, Pegu, and Tenasserim, and of R. erythrcea from 

 Lower Bengal (Calcutta and Dacca), Assam, and Burma. 



11. Rana granulosa, Anderson, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xl. 18/1, 

 p. 23. 



This species has been provisionally identified by Boulenger (Ind, 

 Kept. p. 458) with Rana nigrovittata {=-Rana tytleri, Boul.), but it 

 differs markedly from it in many ways. The vomerine teeth are 

 longer, and usually reach to well behind the choanse ; the first 

 finger extends well beyond the second ; the toes are two-thirds 

 webbed, the web being deeply incised and barely reaching to the tips 

 of the third and fifth digits ; the subarticular and the inner and outer 

 metatarsal tubercles are all very strongly developed ; the skin of the 

 back is markedly granulate, with broad prominent glandular lateral 

 folds ; there is a second glandular fold along the upper lips from 

 below the eye to the shoulder, ending in a large rounded granule ; 

 the colour is reddish brown above, irregularly spotted, darker below, 

 speckled throughout.

 xii. 1883, p. 1G2; id. Ind. Rept. p. 473. 



There is a second specimen of this hitherto unique species in the 

 Indian Museum ; it was obtained by Mr. W. M. Daly at Koppa in 

 Mysore, and by him presented to the Museum. 



13. Rhacophorus CAViROSTRis(Giinth.); Boulenger, Ind. Rept. 

 p. 481. 



There is a Frog in the Indian Museum resembling the type of 

 R. cavirostris in every respect, except that the hind limbs are a little 

 longer, since the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the tip of the snout, 

 whereas in the typical form the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches only 

 to between the eye and the snout. 



The Indian Museum specimen was procured by Limborg in 

 Tenasserim, and, if correctly referred to R. cavirostris, considerably 

 extends the distribution of this species, which has hitherto been 

 known only from Ceylon.
