304 Miscellanea. [Vol. II, 



The young of Mlurus fulgens. — The two individuals examined 

 are about three weeks old and were born in captivity^ in July, the 

 mother, in a pregnant condition, having been caught by some 

 Bhutias in the vicinity of Darjiling and kept in the Museum there. 

 The young are totally different from the adult in coloration, but 

 the characteristic markings are fairly well defined. The following is 

 a short description : — 



Back dull smoky fawn becoming blackish grey on the under 

 parts ; the crown of the head and sides of the face, with the 

 exception of the rings round the eyes, greyish red ; the legs, 

 tail, and ears smoky brown, the white markings of the adult 

 being here represented by dark grey.

BATRACHIA. 



Notes on some Batrachia recently added to the col- 

 lection OF THE Indian Museum. — The specimens noticed below 

 are chiefly from the Amherst District, Tenasserim, and the Hima- 

 layas. Those from the former district were taken by myself in 

 March last, those from the Himalayas mostly by Mr. R. Hodgart, 

 the Museum Collector. 



Rana vicina, Stoliczka. 



Numerous specimens from British Garhwal at an altitude of 

 about 6,000 feet IHodgart]. This is the common frog of the S. W. 

 Himalayas at about this altitude. 



Rana dor ice, Boulenger. 



Several small specimens from a jungle stream in the Dawna 

 Hills near Kawkareik (or Kawkareit) in the interior of the Amherst 

 District (altitude about 3,000 feet), March 1908. 



Rana laticeps, Boulenger. 



A large specimen from a jungle stream in the same locality, but 

 nearer the base of the hills. Apparently a common species above 

 about 2,000 feet. 



Ranalimborgi, W. h. Sclater. -- 



A specimen from the same locality (2,000 feet), agreeing in 

 proportions and other characters with Sclater's description, but 

 differing slightly in colour. I have been unable to trace the type 

 specimen of this species, which should be in our collection. 



Rana Hmnocharis , Wiegmann. 



Kqually common in swamps in the plains and in jungle streams 

 in the Himalayas and the mountains of Burma up to 5,000 feet. 

 Some specimens were lately collected on Baratang Island of the
