FASCICULI MALATENSES 
l 33 
BUFONIDAE 
2. Bufo asper, Grave nh. 
Bukit Besar, 2,500 feet, and Stmgkei, Batang Padang, South Perak. 
* A common species, both in Perak and in the Siamese States. It is 
generally found near human dwellings or in secondary jungle, but occasionally 
penetrates into thick forest country.' 
3. Bufo parvus, Blgr. 
Sung led, South Perak, 
4. Bufo melanostictus, Gthr. 
Jalor and Selangor. 
‘Probably the commonest terrestrial Batrachian in most parts of the 
Peninsula, but I have never seen it in thick jungle. In the town of Senggora 
it issues forth from holes in the city wall every evening, or after a shower, in 
enormous numbers.' 
ENGYSTOMATIDAE 
5. Callula pulchra. Gray 
Jalor and Sdangor. 
4 Common in the Patani States and Senggora, apparently less so on the 
west side of the main range. It is chiefly nocturnal in its habits, often hiding 
during the day among the cocoanut-husks and other refuse under native houses. 
I have seen a specimen seated in the hollow of a dead branch, surrounded by what 
appeared to be the remains of an ants' nest ; but all the ants were dead, 
whether killed by contact with the Batrachian or not, 1 cannot say, though it seems 
probable that this may have been the case. I have noted elsewhere, 1 how the 
way in which this toad inflates itself on being disturbed causes its conspicuous 
coloration to be displayed.' 
6. Microhyla ornata, D. & B. 
Mabek, Jalor. 
* Not uncommon in the long grass of clearings surrounded by jungle.'
