Fischer, J. G. A list of reptiles and batrachians of Mindanao. Jahrb. 
Wiss. Anst. Hamburg 2 (1885) 80 and 81. 
Lists Hylo7'ana erythraea Schlegel {= Rana erythraea Schlegel), 
Rana everetti Boulenger, Megalophrys montana Kuhl, and Microhyla 
achatina Boie. The last two records may be considered doubtful. 
Girard, Charles. United States Exploring Expedition during the Years 
1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, 1842, under the Command of Charles Wilkes, 
U. S. N. Herpetology 20 (1858) i-xvii + 1-496, with folio atlas of 
plates. 
Two Philippine frogs are listed. Hylorana mindanensis ( = Rana 
mindanensis) is described on page 52 as new, from Caldera, Zam- 
boanga, Mindanao. 
Gunther, Albert. Catalogue of the Batrachia Salientia in the Collection 
of the British Museum. London (1858) i-xvi + 1-160, pis. 1-13. 
In this early catalogue the following new species are described 
from the Philippines: Oxyglossus Isevis, from “Philippine Islands;” 
Ixalus natator {= Staurois natator), from the “Philippines,” Rhaco- 
phorus pardalis {— Polypedates pardalis), from “Philippines” and 
Borneo, and Polypedates appendiculatus. Platymantis plicifera is also 
described as new from the Philippines, but this species is the same 
as Cornufer corrugata A. Dumeril. Excellent drawings of all these 
species, except P. appendiculatus, are given. The types were collected 
(very probably) ,by Hugh Cuming. 
Gunther, Albert. Notes on some reptiles and batrachians obtained by 
Dr. Adolph Bernhard Meyer in Celebes and the Philippine Islands. 
Proc. Zool. Soc. London (1873) 165-172, pis. 17 and 18. 
Several snakes and lizards are described. Two frogs, Polypedates 
similis (= Rana similis) and Platymantis meyeri (= Comufer me- 
yeri) , are described as new from “Laguna de Bay.” 
Gunther, Albert. List of the mammals, reptiles, and batrachians sent 
by Mr. Everett from the Philippine Islands. Proc. Zool. Soc. London 
(1879) 74-79. * 
Seven species are listed from Dinagat or Surigao. 
Muller, F. III. Nachtrag Katalog der herpetologischen Sammlung des 
Basler Museums (1883). 
A few Philippine species are mentioned, among which are Necto- 
phryne sundgna Peters and Megalophrys montana Kuhl. These are 
very probably incorrectly identified. 
Mocquard, M. F. Recherches sur la faune herpetologique des iles de Bor- 
neo et de Palawan. Nouv. Arch, du Mus. d’hist. Nat. 2 (1890) 115- 
165. 
Four frogs are listed, and Ixalus nubilus is described as new. 
This is now regarded as identical with Staurois natator Gunther. 
Bufo divergens Peters and Megalophrys montana Kuhl are listed, but 
these are probably identical with B. philippinicus Boulenger and M. 
ligayse Taylor.
