near Taiping, Perak; and Dr. Hanitsch (Rep, Eaffles Libr. & Mus.

Phrynoghssus martensii, Peters, Mon. Berl. Ac. 1867, p. 29. 



Oxyglossus marte-iisii, Blgr. Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 6. 



Localities. I obtained specimens at the following places in 

 Siam : — one Bawtong Kabin (March), one Chantaboon (January), 

 many in the Dong Phya Fai (November), elevation 900 feet, and

 only two were actually in ponds, though all were near water.

 present. Behind the eyes a broad transverse patch of red-brown 

 and orange is conspicuous. Iris yellow, closely and finely speckled
