ZOOLOGY OF THE FAR EAST. 
glandule between the shoulders and the tympanum ; there is a faint whitish line in 
continuation of the lateral fold on the supercilliary region and canthus rostralis. A 
very characteristic point in the colouration is a white longitudinal streak in the 
middle of the posterior part of the back ; the lateral folds of each side connect with 
this streak at the posterior extremity. The lips are white, sometimes suffused with a 
dark pigment, the sides below the lower white line bear numerous dark spots and the 
ventral surface of the throat, abdomen and sides are often marked with smaller dark 
spots, which sometimes form a regular suffusion ; the posterior part of the thighs are 
boldly marked with green or black and white, the limbs are not cross barred. 
The t3^pe (from Dacca) is still in fairly good condition, but faded; it is very 
much larger than any other specimen I have seen, the total length of the head and 
body being 6i mm.; the next specimen in point of size, which comes from Tenas- 
serim, is only 44 mm. long, while the average length of apparently adult specimens 
from Orissa does not exceed 36 mm. 
The range extends from Tenasserim all round the head of the Bay of Bengal to 
Orissa. The species is found in the plains.
