Stoliczka says this species is very common in Penaiig and 

 Province Wellesley, and from Perang Hill (2000'ft.)he obtained a 

 variety which he called pulla. Thfire are specimens in the British 

 Museum from Perak from Mr. Wray, from the Bindings from 

 Mr. liidiey, and from Malacca from Mr. Harvey. This Prog was 

 common about Tanglin, Singapore; usually, in April, found sitting 

 on the banks of ponds in the evening; it does not attempt to 

 escape by jumping into the water like liana tii/rina, B. niaerodon, 

 and It. Jlammea, but even if touched squats down close on the 

 clay, which its colour does not resemble, so is easily caught. 

 Stoliczka (J. A. S. B. 1870, p. 153) mentions Bufo penamjensis as 

 having a similar habit. The largest Tanglin specimen was 6'J, mm. 

 from snout to vent. Their usual coloration seems, pale olive-green 

 above, with dark green blotches and a distinct, narrow, pale yellow 

 dorsal stripe ; the underneath being immaculate buff, except the 

 lips which have distinct black spots, and the throat (male) has two 

 large black blotches. 



Hah. Sikhim, India, Ceylon, Burma, China, Formosa, Japan, 

 Siam, Malay Peninsula and Archipelago.

Stoliczka says : " I found this species tolerably common all 

 through the higher forests (about 1000 feet above sea-level) in the 



island of Penang ; I have seen hundreds of specimens in 



different places of the island, It is generally seen on the 



leaves of small bushes or on the ground between old leaves." 



Hab. Malay Peninsula and Natuna Islands.

Cantor mentions having observed three individuals from the 

 Malay Peninsula. Stoliczka (J. A. S. B. 1873, p. 112) found it 

 in the collection he got from Penang and Province Wellesley. 

 There is a specimen in the British Museum from Perak from 

 Mr. Wray. 1 found one individual in the Lines, Penang, in May 

 1895, but in Singapore in April 1896. I found it excessively 

 numerous about the ponds at Tanglin and in the Botanical 

 Grardens, in ditches near Thompson Boad and in the low-lying 

 fields up the Singapore river, where it may be heard croaking at 

 night. This is a most active, agile Frog, both on land and in the 

 water ; it can hop over the surface of a pond, much as liana 

 cyaiiopldyctis does in India, and also jump right out of the water. 

 Owing to the vivid green colour of its back exactly matching the 

 colour of the weeds in a pond, it is often difficult to see but for its
