ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
Bvfo gahatus, n. sp.^ from Gamboja. Gunther^ p. 421, pi. 26. fig. L. 
Paludicola pustulosa, n. sp., Cope, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Pbilad. 1864, p. 180, 
from New Granada. The author observes that Paludicola is a genus of 
Wagler’s which lias been latterly overlooked. It lacks the parotoids, and 
differs from ScMsmaderma in the free toes and tarsal spur, in this last respect 
resembling Gomphohates biligonigerus. 
Pam. PoLYPEDATlDiE. 
Jlylorana macularia (Blyth) is figured by Giinther, Kept. Brit. Ind. pi. 26. 
fig. 0. 
Polypedates. Dr. Steindachner cannot have had an opportunity of examin- 
ing many species of Polypedates or Hylorana, otherwise he would not have 
proposed to unite these two most distinct genera (Verh. zool. hot. Ges. Wien, 
1864, p. 251).' His remark, that the character of a rudiment of a membrane 
between the fingers is insufficient to distinguish them, is true j but Hylo- 
rana has a lateral glandular fold, constantly absent in Polypedates. 
Polypedates quadrilineatiis Dr. Steindachner (Verh. zool. hot. Ges. 
Wien, 1864, p. 253, taf. 10. fig. 2) says that the Vienna Collection has re- 
ceived specimens through Ida Pfeiffer from Madagascar. Although it is not 
impossible that an Indian species should occur in that "bland, we must bear 
in mind that the collections made by that lady at various places were much 
mixed, as is abundantly proved by the specimens obtained from her for the 
British Museum. 
Polypedates goudotii (Bibr.) has been figured by Steindachner, Verh. zool. 
bot. Ges. Wien, 1864, p. 253, taf. 10. fig. 1. 
New species : — 
Ilylorana temporalis, Gunther, Kept. Brit. Ind. p. 427, pi. 26. fig. G, from 
Ceylon. 
Polypedates pleurostictus, Gunther, 1. c. p. 430, pi. 26. fig. I, from Madras; 
Polypedates reticulatus, Gunther, p. 431, pi. 26. fig. F, from Ceylon. 
Ixakis temporalis and I. femdralis, both from Ceylon^ Gunther, 1. c. p. 434, 
pi. 26. figs. E & D. 
Hyperolius (Rapp). This name is, most unfortunately, preoccupied by 
Uperoleia (Gray), which is merely a less correct form of the same compound 
word. If it should be considered necessary to substitute another name for 
that introduced by Rapp, the Recorder would propose the name of Rappia. 
Hyperolius nasuttis, sp. n., Giinther, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1864, p. '482, pi. 33. 
fig. 3, from Angola ; Hyperolius reticulatus, sp. n., Gunther, 1. c. fig. 4, pro- 
bably from West AfHca. 
Three other new species from the Zambesi-regions are described by Gun- 
ther, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1864, viz. H jlavo-maculatus, p. 310, pi. 27. fig. 1, H. 
citrinus, p. 311, pi. 27. fig. 2, and H microps, p. 311, pi. 27. fig. 3. 
Hyperolius heuglini, sp. n. P, Steindachner, Verh. zool. bot. Gesellsch. Wien, 
1864, p. 244, taf. 15. fig. 4, from "Abyssinia. The author is in doubt whether 
the specimen to which this name has been given, is not the young and va- 
riety of colour ” of H. guttulatus (Gthr.). In this respect we may assure him 
that no two species of Hyperolius are more distinct than those in question. 
The species in the Vienna Museum may be compared with greater propriety
