panic region to the shoulder, and another from behind the eye 

 along- the side of the back to the groin. Hind limb of moderate 

 length. The distance between the vent and the heel a little longer 

 than the bocly. An oblong flat tubercle at the base of the first 

 toe, and a fold along the 1st and 5th toes. The 3rd and 5th 

 toes are almost snbeqnal, the 4th being the longest. Tips of toes 

 and fingers slightly swollen. Toes completely and broadly webbed, 

 the membrane reaching to the tips of all the toes and not einargi- 

 nate. 



Olive grey above, marbled on the back with blackish brown. 

 A black band between the eye and the snout and another from the 

 posterior angle of the eye to near the shoulder. A black band be- 

 tween the eyes. The posterior half of the lateral glandular fold is 

 yellowish. A brown blackish band below the lateral fold from behind 

 the eye to the groin. About 8 black bars on the upper jaw and 12 

 on the lower : the chin faintly speckled with greyish. Fore limbs 

 and fingers black spotted. Sides with from 6 to 8 black spots. Legs 

 barred and marbled with brownish. Toes barred with black and 

 marbled with paler. Under surface yellowish, brighter on the 

 under and hinder surface of the thighs. 



Another specimen from the same locality (Darjeeling) has the 

 sides and sacral region tubercular and the legs very feebly so. The 

 colour above is uniform (in spirit) dark slate, marbled with darker. 

 Around the vent there is a loose circular bay, marked by radiating 

 lines, thickly studded over by papillee, each capped by a chitinous, 

 curved, sharp process. 



Length of $ 2", 7'"; hind leg 4", 2"'. Length of $ 2", 10'" ; leg 

 5", 2"'. Males without vocal sacs. 



Habitat. Darjeeling, 4000 feet. 



Dr. Jerdon* in a late notice of some reptiles mentions a frog 

 from Darjeeling somewhat allied to R. Lichigii, but distinguished 

 from it by its more fully webbed feet. Such is his description and he 

 applies to it the name R. sihimensis. I have no means of determin- 

 ing whether this frog is or is not the one now described, as Dr. 

 J ordon gives no additional details regarding it.
