The violet colour is separated all round from the green by a yellowish line, 

 most distinct on the front side of the arms and on the posterior side of the 

 hind limbs ; the inner side of the fingers, tarsi and meta-tarsi, and the web- 

 bing are also tinged with violet. Below the eye and the tympanum, and on 

 the snout, the green is tinged with blue, the upper lip is paler green than the 

 rest of the head, edge of under lip pale golden yellow, margined with a dark 

 violet stripe on the lower side. Both the green and the violet colours, but 

 particularly the former, often quickly change into various shades, according 

 to the rapidity of the movements of the frog. 



The largest specimen observed measures : body 4'25 inch., its length 

 being equal to the distance from the anus to half the tarsus j fore limb nearly 

 3/' hind limb 675 inch.

I found this species, (originally described from two Moulmein specimens) 

 abundant in a deep valley near Pankabari, at between 2000 and 3000 feet 

 elevation, above the Sikkim Terai, and also at Lebong below Darjiling, at 

 about 5000 feet. 



The structure and size of these specimens perfectly agrees with the 

 type, but the coloration varies immensely. The general colour changes from 

 pure to yellowish ashy, tinged with more or less bright reddish or violet at 

 the sides. The dorsal space, included by the dark band between the eyes and 

 the lateral ones above the belly, is either vinaceous ashy, or brown, it forms 

 a kind of bottle-shaped mark which becomes obsolete on the sacral region ; 

 sometimes the whole of the upper side is dark vinaceous brown, with mere 

 traces of the dorsal mark ; a short black band from the eye to the shoulder 

 is always distinct.

The length of the body is half of the total length of the hind limb. In 

 several fresh specimens from Pegu I observe the following coloration : above, 

 yellowish or dusky vinaceous, with a dark bottle-shaped mark, originating 

 between the eyes, being above the shoulders very distinctly margined with 

 white, and becoming indistinct on the posterior part of the back ; hind limbs 

 with two or three short dark cross bands ; chin and breast blackish, speckled 

 with white, sides of the belly and front side of femora partially, and their 

 hinder side mostly, tinged or marbled with dusky black ; a few small pure 

 black, white edged, spots on the fore limb, on the anterior and posterior 

 sides of the femora and tibiae, and about the anus ; the foot including the
