148 Indian and Malayan Amphibia and Reptilia. [No. 2, 



I found this species tolerably common all through the higher for- 

 ests (about 1000 feet above sea level) in the island of Penang ; it does 

 not seem to grow to a large size, for though I have seen hundreds of 

 specimens in different places of the island, the largest I obtained, only 

 measures -j--f' 'in length of body, the distance from anus to heel, is -*-§-" 

 inches, the fourth toe T V and the total of hind limb 1 ^\ inch. The 

 usual size of the specimens is only T ^, and nearly T 9 ^-, T ^g-, if inches in 

 the other corresponding measurements. It is generally seen on the 

 leaves of small bushes or on the ground between old leaves ; it is very 

 active and on account of its very small size rather difficult to secure. 



I have great j)leasure in naming this species after my friend 

 Alfred Hasche who has very kindly assisted me in my re- 

 searches on the island. 



5. Polypedates maculatus, Gray, (Gr ii n t h. 1. cit. p. 428.) 



A variety of this species is not uncommon in Penang. Live speci- 

 mens were of a yellowish brown colour with greenish tinge, the head 

 much darker than the rest and with a distinct bluish tinge, the whole 

 of the upper surface very minutely punctated with dark speaks ; a 

 short blackish partially interrupted streak below the timpanoid fold ; 

 all four feet with indistinct cross-bands, the hinder side of the 

 femora blackish, spotted with white : the extreme edge of the upper 

 lip white ; below uniform yellowish white. The skin in young 

 specimens is very finely granular above, in old ones it becomes 

 smoother, especially on the posterior half of the body.

 I have collected near Moulinein two specimens which I was 

 first inclined to regard as a variety of H. erythroea. There is no- 

 essential difference in the measurements of the two.
