The specimens of this frog which were collected in Hotha have the limbs slightly 

 shorter than the length of the body, which is in reverse proportion to what prevails 

 in Indian individuals. But in aU other characters they conform. 



The males during the breeding season are pale greenish-yellow with dark spots 

 and a pale vertebral streak, and are smaller than the females which are greyish- olive 

 with dark spots. 



This species has a very wide distribution, extending from China and the Malayan 

 Peninsula through Burma, India, Ceylon and the lower or outlying ranges of the 

 Himalayas as far west as the Indus.
