Besides the last-mentioned Bothrops, I obtained on Kisseraing 

 and Elphinstone Islands two specimens of another species of this 

 genus which I hesitate to name until they have been compared 

 witli the types of certain species in the India Museum, Calcutta. 

 They seem to be allied to B . porphyraceus and B. cantoris, Bl} th. 

 I have recently received from Perak another example of the same 

 form.

 beginning of 1887 I showed the foregoing frogs from King 

 Island and Elphinstone Island to Mr. Boulenger, who at once 

 recognized their similarity to Theobald's four specimens, and 

 expressed the opinion that they seemed to indicate the existence 

 of a hitherto unrecognized species closely allied to B. modesta. 

 Subsequent to this the Beptiles and Batrachians collected by M. 

 L. Fea in Northern Tenasserim were placed by the Marquis Doria 

 in Mr. Boulenger's hands for description. Among the frogs there
