No. 9173 is the type, the only specimen in the collection that has the male 
characters fully developed. A second specimen was recently taken by Dr. F. H. 
Gravely at Pashok (4,500 ft.) in the Darjiling district. 
This frog is found in the Tista Valley at altitudes between 4,000 and 6,000 ft.

There has been no confusion about this species, of which an excellent description 
has been given by Boulenger. It occurs in Kashmir as well as in Sind and Balu- 
chistan.

This species is closely allied to R. gammiei, but is much smaller and of stouter 
habit and is easily recognized by the different character of the warts on the back ; 
they are more or less elongated and devoid of spines. The breeding male is also 
devoid of structural modifications. The colouration closely resembles that of R. 
gammiei. 
In the western Himalayas, at altitudes from 7,000 to 10,000 ft., this species is 
very common, it often being the only batrachian that can be discovered readily. 
The locality of the type-specimen is uncertain.
