906 ME. STANLEY S, ELOWEE ON THE [NoV. 14, 



November 1897. It is a singularly handsomely marked frog, and 

 well merits its specific name oi pulchra. 



Distribution. Siam, Cambodia, China, Hongkong. 



31. MiCROHYLA AOHATINA (Boie). 



2Iicrohyla acJiatina, Blgr. Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 166. 



Localities. This pretty little frog was known to inhabit the 

 Malay Peninsula from c? and $ specimens sent to the British 

 Museum from Malacca by Mr. D. F. A. Hervey ; it does not seem 

 to have been previously recorded from Siam. I have obtained 

 specimens on Penang Hill, at from 2000 to 2500 feet elevation, 

 in Nov. 1896 and April 1898 ; in Taiping, Perak, in May 1898; 

 in Bangkok in July 1898 ; in the Dong Phya Fai, about 900 feet 

 elevation, in Nov. 1897 ; and I have received specimens from 

 Chantoboon. 



Habits. A very active frog ; at times taking very sudden, long 

 hops like a " grasshopper " insect, at others using its dilated 

 digital disks in climbing like a true tree-frog. 



Colour (in life). Upper parts vary from very pale light bronze- 

 brown to rich bronze-red, speckled in irregular longitudinal lines, 

 with very small dark brown spots, a very pale yellow vertebral line, 

 and a conspicuous dark brown or black pattern on the back. The 

 sides are rich dark brown or black. Lower parts purplish buff. 

 Iris golden. 



/Size. Snout to vent 20 mm. 



Distribution. Tenasserim, Siam, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, 

 Moluccas. 



32. MiCBOHYLA BEBDMOEII (Blyth). 



Microhyla berdmorii, Blgr. Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 166. 



Localities. This species, although known from Burma, Malacca 

 (Davison), and Cambodia, does not seem to have been recorded 

 from Siam. In Nov. 1897 I found it numerous near Hinlap, in 

 the Dong Phya Fai, Siam, elevation about 700 feet. 



Habits. Nocturnal, frequenting the neighbourhood of water, an 

 extraordinary good jumper (even for a frog). 



Size. Snout to vent 43 mm. 



Distribution. Burma, Siam, Cambodia, Malay Peninsula. 



33. Calltjla pulohea (G-ray). 

 Hylcedactylus bivittatus, Cantor, p. 143. 



Callula pidchra, Blgr. Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 170 (hand &e. fig.) ; 

 S. Flower, P. Z. S. 1896, p. 908. 



" Eung-ahng " of the Siamese. 



" Bull Frog " of the English in Singapore and Siam. 



Localities. This species apparently does not occur in Penang ; 

 but is now common in Singapore, having been (from all accounts) 

 impor:;ed into that island from Siam. The only instances of its 

 occurrence on the mainland of the Peninsula (that I know of) are
