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-buS or yellowish- 

 brown, paler beneath. The underneath of the head and body is 

 immaculate, pure white. The iris is golden or golden-orange.

This Frog was described from several sjiecimens from Malacca 

 given to the British Museum by Mr. Hervey ; specimens have 

 since been received there from Singapore from Mr. Eidley. I 

 caught t\;i-o specimens at Tanglin, Singapore, in a small pond on 

 the 2nd of April, 1896; it appeared fairly numerous, and was 

 associated with liana eri/tJiraa, which it resembles in colour, 

 having the upper parts bright green and the lower immaculate 

 vi'hite : this bright green in spirit becomes dull and dark.

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 betw-een those of liana 

 esculenta and Rana temporaria (Boul. P. Z. S. 1891, pi. 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 papillse, those on the lower edge being long and prominent ; 

 upper lip with four series of fine teeth, the outermost is uninter-
