The type specimens of Xenoj^hrys unoniicola *, in the British 

 Museum, are from the Sikkim Himalayas and the Khasi Hills. 

 Others, from Darjeeling (Jerdoii) and Pegu (Theobald), are pre- 

 served in the same Institution. I have examined about 40 

 specimens from Darjeeling and Cherrapunji belonging to the 

 Calcutta Museum. Leptohrachium parvum was described from 

 specimens obtained by Fea in the Karin Hills, Upper Burma. 



No direct observations have been made on the habits of this 

 species, but an inspection of the oviducts of females on the point 

 of spawning show the eggs to be large, 2 millim. in diameter. 

 Tadpoles obtained by Dr. Annandale at Kurseong and referred 

 by him provisionally to M. montana of Kuhl f belong, I feel 

 convinced, to this species, in which the toes are nearly free. These 

 tadpoles, with funnel-shaped mouth, agree very closely with those 

 of the former species, as known from specimens obtained by 

 Messrs. Annandale and Robinson in the Malay Peninsula, differ- 

 ing only, so far as I can see, in the whitish belly.
