Specimens from Singapore. — Upper ])arts bright bronze or 

 chocolate-red, varies very much in intensity, in captivity becomes 

 a pale 3'eIlowis]i- or brownish-red. In one lialf-grown specimen 

 the upper parts were a dark olive-brown. A very narrow pale 

 yellow \ertebral 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 

 liana limnocharis. 



Size. The largest Penang specimen is 92 mm. from snout to 

 vent. The largest Singapore specimen I have measured is 105 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. 



]]ah. Upper Burma, Tenasserim, Malay Peninsula and 

 Archipelago.

Rana tigrina, Cantor, p. 139 ; Boul. Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 26 ; id. 

 Fauna Brit. Ind., Eept. 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 tir/rina, var. 

 panllierina, 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 189.5 I found this Prog common in the evening about 

 Kota Star, Kedah.
