colored figure of a Makassar example shows the living colors. Examples in the 

 Museum from Ceylon, Siam, and Cochin China appear to have been colored in 

 life as this figured specimen was. 



Known now from Ceylon and India over most of southeastern Asia, and 

 Celebes, Sumatra, and Flores. 



For an excellent account of the habits of this species, see Flower, Proc. Zool. 

 soc, London, 1899, p. 906-908. 



Kaloula baleata (Muller). 

 MtJLLER, Verh. Bat. genootsch., 1836, p. 96. Botjlenger, Cat. Batr. Sal. Brit, mus., 1882, p. 169-170. 



Type locality: — Van Oort and Miiller discovered this species on a trip taken 

 through the Preanger early in 1833. Muller wrote his notes on it, and sent them 

 back to Batavia for publication from Lewie Gadja. He reported finding about 

 fifty examples near this town. 



This species is locally quite common in west Java. In the city of Batavia 

 its loud screams may sometimes be heard in the roadside ditches during the rains, 

 late in the evening. I have three examples taken there, where, however, they 

 were very shy. In the daytime they stay largely in the hollows of fallen bamboos. 

 I never met with this species during several months at Buitenzorg. Van Kampen 

 told me he had found it sparingly at Tjilatjap. 



This species is unknown from the mainland, but is reported from the fol- 

 lowing islands : — Philippines, Sumatra, Nias, Borneo, Java, Sumba, and Celebes. 



Bufo andersonii Boulenger. 

 BouLENGEB, Ann. mag. nat. hist., 1883, ser. 5, 12, p. 163. Fauna. Brit. India. Rept. Batr., 1890, p. 504. 



This toad seems to be the common garden toad of the dry regions of Upper 

 India. Specimens were taken at Jeypore during November, 1906, where it was 

 fairly common. 



This species was first accurately characterized by Anderson (Proc. Zool. soc. 

 London, 1871, p. 203), but he referred his specimens to Bufo pantherinus auct. 

 These examples were from Agra, and were also used by Boulenger in the de- 

 scription of B. andersonii, as well as examples from Ajmere, Tatta, and some 

 with no more definite locality than "India." It is therefore impossible to 

 establish a precise type locality. 



The species is known from Upper India and Arabia. "

There are three large specimens typical of this species which were sent to 

 the Museum from the Koolloo Valley, India, by the Rev. M. M. Carlton. The
