Several specimens were obtained by the late L. Fea on the 

 western slope of the Karin or Karennee Hills, east of Toungoo, 

 Bui-ma, at an altitude of 2500 feet or upwards. The species has 

 been recorded from Mergui, Tenasserim, by W. L. Sclater. 

 According to Fea, the males show themselves veiy irritable when 

 disturbed, opening their wide gape, ready to bite at the slightest 

 provocation, emitting at the same time a shrill cry. The female 

 is of more gentle disposition. The strong jaws of this frog enable 

 it to overpower small mammals, and a large female contained, in 

 addition to insects, a small squirrel.
