broad black edges; the median line being deficient, as in the specimens 
from Agra mentioned by Dr. Stoliczka, (J. A. S. B., 1870, p. 142). 
31. GoNGYLOPHIS conicus. Two specimens were obtained on the 
Godavari, they were very gentle and slow in their movements, like Ery«. 
One had swallowed a mouse. In a specimen 20 inches long, of which the tail 
measured 13, there were 168 ventral scales and 18 subcaudals; the upper 
labials were 14, not 12. The colour was dark brown, with the blotches 
light brown in the middle and yellow on the margins. 
32. DaABOIA RUSSELLI. 
83. Ecuts cartnata, This was obtained on two or three occasions in 
forest,—rather thin forest it is true,—but it is remarkable to find a desert 
form like Hchis carinata, so common in the barren plains and rocky hills 
of South-Western Asia, in a wooded country. 
AMPHIBIA. 
RANA TIGRINA, 
R. LYMNOCHARIS. 
RR. CYANOPHLYCTIS. 
PYXICEPHALUS BREVICEPS, 
BUFO MELANOSTICTUS. 
POLYPEDATES MACULATUS. 
‘CALLULA VARIEGATA, Stoliczka, P. A. S. B., 1872, p.111. I obtain- 
ed altogether five specimens of this species, from under logs of wood, near a 
village between Dumagudem and Rajamahendri. In size they varied from 
1:1 to 1°35 in the length of the body, and the hind limb ranged from 1:23 
in the smallest to 1:48 in the largest example. Four were under one log, 
one under another, and in each case the toads associated with a large scor- 
pion, and tried to escape into his burrow when the log was lifted. They 
can hop but very feebly indeed. The body in life is extremely soft and 
slimy. The colour above, in the living animal, is dark brown, spotted with 
pale greenish or yellow, the spots are usually minute on the hinder part of 
the body and on the limbs, but form larger blotches on the back. The 
lower parts are dull flesh-colour.
