ZOOLOGY OF THE FAR EAST. 
Rana glandulosa, Boulenger.

A specimen was recently taken by Mr. J . Coggin Brown of the Geological Survey 
of India at Mongbong, Hsipaw, North Shan States. This, so far as I am aware, is 
the first record of the species from Burma.

The correct spelling of the generic name of this species has recently been dis- 
cussed by Barbour.' I find myself obliged to accept his decision in the matter. 
K. pulchra, which is one of the commonest forms in the northern part of the 
Malay Peninsula, is apparently rare in northern India. I have recently examined 
a living specimen taken by Miss Maud Cleghorn in the outskirts of Calcutta. It 
differs from all the Malay individuals I have seen in having the pale markings'^ 
on the back of a bright red colour instead of dull yellowish Miss Cleghorn tells 
me that the red fades considerably when the animal is in a disturbed condition. 
A specimen was recently taken by Mr. T. Bainbrigge Fletcher at Pusa; its colour 
was apparently similar to that of the Calcutta example. A specimen from Celebes 
figured by Barbour {op. cit., 191 2) seems to have been even paler than Malay 
examples. 
I have some remarks to make on the eggs and tadpoles below (p. 152). 
SOME TADPOLES FROM JAPAN, CHINA, THE MALAY 
PENINSULA, BURMA AND CEYLON. 
Under this heading I propose to discuss tadpoles of several frogs and toads from 
different parts of the Oriental Region, with one species from Japan.

On October 15th, 1915, I obtained in Lake Kasumi-ga-Ura on the east coast of 
the Main Island of Japan a tadpole that I assign provisionally to this species. The

2 I refer to the major markings; some specimens from the Malay Peninsula have small carmine spots on the back, 
just as some specimens of Bufo melanostictus do. Miss Cleghorn has recently obtained a second specimen near Calcutta 
similar to the first in colouration.
