3. Notes on a Second Collection of Batrachians made in the 

 Malay Peninsula and Siain_, from November 1896 to 

 September 1898, with a List of the Species recorded 

 from those Countries. By Stanley Smyth Flower,

[Received May 29, 1899.] 



(Plates LIX. & LX.) 



To the List of 34 Batrachians from the Malay Peninsula pub- 

 lished in the Society's ' Proceedings,' 1896 (pp. 897-914), eight 

 species can now be added, viz.: — Rana Iciihlii Schleg., R. macro- 

 dactyla ((xiinth.), R. larutensis Blgr., Microhyla ornata (D. & B.), 

 M. leucostigma Blgr., Bufo divergens Peters, and two large species 

 of Rhacophorus ; making a total of 42 species. 



In the British Museum Catalogues of Batrachians 11 species 

 have been recorded from Siam. Nine species can now be added, 

 viz. : — Rana macrodactyla (Griinth.), R. nigrovittata (Blyth), Calo- 

 ■plirgniis phurostigma Tsehudi, Microhyla ornata (D. & B.), M. inor- 

 nata Blgr., M.pidchra (Hallow.), M. acJiatina (Boie), M. herdmorii 

 (Blyth), and Bufo macrotis Blgr. ; making a total of 20 species. 



This list must represent, however, but a small proportion of 

 the forms which will eventually be found to inhabit this part of the 

 world. 



In this paper a little-known frog, Rana plicatella, first made 

 known by Stoliczka, is redescribed, and the tadpoles of the 

 following species are described, I believe, for the first time : — 

 Rana macrodon, R. tigrina, Microhyla ornata, Bufo jjenangemis. 

 Besides these there is a very remarkable tadpole from Penang, the 

 adult form of which, so far as I have been able to discover, 

 is undescribed ; it is hoped this notice of it may attract other 

 collectors to observe it and to find out to what species it belongs. 



I have to acknowledge my sense of obligation to Mr. G. A. 

 Boulenger, F.R.S., for his invaluable advice and very kind help in 

 answering many questions for me in letters during the last' three 

 Years.
