 Hal). Seebsaugor, Assam. 



Rhacophorus maculatus, n. sp. 



Rhacophorus Reinwardtii, Jerdon, Proc. As. Soc. Beng. 1870, 

 p. 84. 



Head very short and broad, of moderate size, snout rather shorter 

 than in R. maximus, Griinth. This distance between the eyes is 

 the length of the snout, and about one half the distance between the 

 nostrils is broader than the interval between them. Nostrils near 

 the extremity of the snout below the canthus rostralis. Canthus 

 rostralis indistinct, rounded. Tympanum rather indistinct, about 

 one half the longer diameter of the eye. A very feeble fold over the 

 tympanum, vomerine teeth in two transverse ridges from the ante- 

 rior internal angle of the choanse, with a moderately wide interval 

 between them. Upper surface smooth ; abdomen and under surface 

 of thighs granular. 



Violet above, with a few scattered minute white and black 

 spots, the former only in the adult. Yellowish below, the chin and 

 throat occasionally with a few black spots. A large intensely 

 bluish black spot on the side behind the arm, with a smaller one on 

 a line with it posteriorly ; rather occasionally absent in the young. 

 Both minutely speckled with violet. 



Length 2", 3'"; hind limb 3", 5"'. 



Hah. Khasi Hills. 



I have five specimens of this frog from the Khasi Hills, and in

 persistent black spots on the side, the white and black spotting 

 of the back in adults and the invariable absence of the spots on 

 membrane of the fingers and toes. 



Ixalus punetatus, n. sp., 



Habit rather stout. Head rather broad and rounded. Length of 

 the snout is a little more than the breadth between the eyes. Can- 

 thus rostralis distinct ; the nostril nearer the end of the snout than
