1896.] BATRACHIANS OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 901 
Specimens from Singapore.—Upper parts bright bronze or 
chocolate-red, varies very much in intensity, in captivity becomes 
a pale yellowish- or brownish-red. In one half-grown specimen 
the upper parts were a dark olive-brown. A very narrow pale 
yellow vertebral stripe seems usually present, but often very irre- 
gular, not following the centre of the back. Lower surfaces 
yellow, paler or bluish-white on the throat, more or less spotted 
or mottled with black. Lips very pale yellow, extensively marked 
with black. A black line under the fold from eye to tympanum, 
continued but narrower to angle of mouth. Iris golden. Limbs 
indistinctly barred with dark brown; a narrow, pale yellow, 
distinct stripe down the hind leg, the skin behind this is white or 
yellow, marbled with black; the web between the toes is dark 
brown. Quite small specimens, of about 40 mm. in length, are 
very differently coloured from the adults, and somewhat resemble 
Rana limnocharis. 
Size. The largest Penang specimen is 92 mm. from snout to 
vent. The largest Singapore specimen I have measured is 165 mm. 
from snout to vent, and the width of the head at the angle of 
the mouth is 76 mm. This species seems to attain a larger size in 
Singapore than in any other locality. 
Hab. Upper Burma, Tenasserim, Malay Peninsula and 
Archipelago. 
6. RANA PLICATELLA, Stol. 
Rana plicatella, Stol. J. A. S. B. 1873, p. 116, pl. xi. fig. 1; 
Boul. Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 26. 
This Frog was discovered by Stoliczka in the collection he got 
from Penang and Province Wellesley. 
Hab, Malay Peninsula. 
7. Rana TIGRINA, Daud. 
Rana tgrina, Cantor, p. 139; Boul. Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 26; id. 
Fauna Brit. Ind., Rept. p. 449 (figured). 
Cantor says this species “is excessively numerous in valleys and 
hills, after heavy falls of rain, Malayan Peninsula and Islands.” 
Stoliczka (J. A. S. B. 1873, p. 112) mentions Rana tigrina, var. 
pontherina, in the collection he got from Penang and Province 
Wellesley. There are in the British Museum specimens from 
Penang, from Dr. Cantor, Major Sykes, and Sir A. Smith. 
In April 1895 I found this Frog common in the evening about 
Kota Star, Kedah. 
Hab. Nepal, Sikhim, India, Ceylon, Burma, China, Formosa, 
Siam, Malay Peninsula and Archipelago.
