1896.] BATRACHIANS OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 903 
bright golden eyes. The largest specimens were 72 mm. in length 
from snout to vent. 
Colour (from life)—Above the most vivid green, exactly 
matching some of the water-weeds in ponds, but in other sur- 
roundings the back may change to a dull green or a yellowish 
brown: no specimens that I met with had “ back and sides brown 
or reddish olive ” as described by Cantor, from life? A very dark 
brown stripe (generally darker at the edges) runs along each side 
of the head and body from the nose to the inset of the hind leg 
(in one specimen these side stripes were bright green, like the 
back, with black edges); this broad dark stripe is separated from 
the green back by a distinct white or yellowish-white stripe. The 
upper lip is yellow. The limbs are reddish-buff or yellowish- 
brown, paler beneath. The underneath of the head and body is 
immaculate, pure white. The iris is golden or golden-orange. 
Hab. Burma, Siam, Malay Peninsula and Archipelago.

This Frog was described from several specimens from Malacca 
given to the British Museum by Mr. Hervey; specimens have 
since been received there from Singapore from Mr. Ridley. I 
caught two specimens at Tanglin, Singapore, in a small pond on 
the 2nd of April, 1896; it appeared fairly numerous, and was 
associated with Rana erythrea, which it resembles in colour, 
having the upper parts bright green and the lower immaculate 
white ; this bright green in spirit becomes dull and dark. 
Hab, Malay Peninsula and Mentavi Islands. 
Tadpole.—I found tadpoles of this species in a small pond in 
the Botanical Gardens, Singapore, in the middle of April 1896. 
Length of body about once and a half its width, about two-thirds 
the length of the tail. Nostrils, as seen from above, nearer the 
end of the snout than the eyes. Eyes on the upper surface of the 
body, rather nearer the end of the snout than the spiraculum ; the 
distance between the eyes twice as great as that between the 
nostrils, and greater than the width of the mouth. Spiraculum 
on the left side, directed upwards and backwards, situated nearer the 
anus than the end of the snout, visible from above and from below. 
Anus opening on the right side, close to the lower edge of the 
subcaudal crest. Tail three to four times as long as deep, ends in 
a rounded point, intermediate in shape between those of Rana 
esculenta and Rana temporaria (Boul. P. Z.S. 1891, pl. xlv. figs. 1, 
3); upper crest convex, slightly deeper than the lower, not 
extending on to the back; the depth of the muscular portion, at 
its base, about half or rather more of its greatest total depth. 
Beak edged with black. Sides and lower edge of the lip fringed 
with papillz, those on the lower edge being long and prominent ; 
upper lip with four series of fine teeth, the outermost is uninter-
