Rana temporaria. As is well known, several races are distinguished by 
Prof. Steenstrup, considered by him to be entitled to specific rank. The 
subject is reexamined by him in Vid. Medd. ntrh. Foren. Kjobnh. for 1869, 
p. 1. He shows that : — 
1. Pana platyrrTiinus {^t^.)^P.Jlaviventris (Millet) =J?. temporaria (auct., 
but not Linn.). 
2. Pana oxyrrhinus (Stp.)= 5 P. temporaria (Linn.) = iJ. arvalis (Nilss.). 
3. Pana agilis (Thomas, Fatio) = i2. temporaria, (Millet). 
? 4. Pana middendorffi (Stp.)=J?. temporaria (typica), Middend.
