Peters (loc. cit.), nicht aber Boulenger, fiir Borneo an. Peters trennte sie aber 

 nicht von B. horbonicus, so dass nicht ersichtlich ist, welche der bieden Arten 

 er meint." Turning now to the work of Peters (Ann. Mus. civ. Genova, 1872, 

 3, p. 43) to which van Kampen refers, we find that he not only mentioned both 

 species separately, but did not even consider them congeneric. As a matter of 

 fact, Boulenger was probably correct in not including them in the Bornean fauna, 

 since Peters evidently had a mixed collection which contained, besides these, 

 other things which never saw Borneo. 



Bryant got one example at Buitenzorg. 



Known certainly from Java and Sumatra. 



Bufo cruentatus Tschudi. 

 Plate 8, fig. 34. 

 Tschudi, Class. Batr., 1838, p. 52. Horst, Notes Leyden mus., 1883, 5, p. 236. 



Type locality: — "India orient. Mus. Lugd." 



Boulenger's reference to Tschudi given on page 286 of the Catalogue of 

 Batrachia Salientia British museum 1882, is "Batr. p. 88." This refers to a 

 pure nomen nudum, and such description as is given is comprised in a few lines, 

 which are found in Tschudi' s discussion of the genus Bufo. The type locaHty 

 was undoubtedly Java as Horst mentions specimens in the Leyden museum 

 taken by Kuhl and van Hasselt, and by Boie and Maclot. 



Bryant found this toad twice at Tjibodas, where it is very rare. 



I have noted the confusion which has placed this species as a synonym of B. 

 horbonicus Boie under the remarks on that species. 



Bufo cruentatus is probably confined to Java. 



Tschudi (p. 50) says " Bufo calamitus, mehr dem norden Europas angehorig 

 ***wesshalb er von Schneider Bufo cruentatus genannt wurde." Schneider 

 really used the name Bufo cruciatus (vide Boulenger, Cat. Batr. Sal. Brit, mus., 



1882, p. 294) 



Bufo obscurus (Barboub). 

 Plate 6, fig. 20. 

 Barbour, Proc. Biol. soc. Wash., 1904, 17, p. 51. 

 Type locality: — Sarawak. 



This species is not a Nectes, to which genus it was originally assigned. The 

 very small and inconspicuous paratoid glands shown in the figure were not 

 seen when the original description was penned.
