Not illustrated. 1914 Excerpt: ... Bufo biporcatua Tschudi. Plate 6, fig. 21, and Plate 8, fig. 35. Tschudi, Class. Batr., 1838, p. 51 (not p. 88). Boulenger, Cat. Batr. Sal. Brit. mus., 1882, p. 311. (ref. to Tschudi, p. 88, nomen nudum). Type locality: --Java, collection of Kuhl. Curiously enough we did not once meet with this species in Java, but Bryant got one at Buitenzorg (fig. 35). There is a single young example (fig. 21), from Makassar, Celebes (Barbour coll.). Van Kampen in his table of distribution of East Indian Amphibia (Zool. ergeb. Max Weber's Reise, 1907, 4, 2, ) records this species from the mainland of Asia (cf. also Boulenger, Fauna Brit. India. Rept. Batr., 1890, p. 507). Among the islands it occurs on Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Madura, Lombok, and Celebes. Bleeker has reported it from Bali, and this is probably correct. Bufo oavator Barbour. Plate 6, fig. 22. Barbour, Proc. Biol. soc. Wash., 1911, 24, p. 21. Type locality: --Ampenan, Lombok. This species is known from the type alone, from which the figure was drawn. Bufo aaper Gravenhorst. Gravenhorst, Delio. Mus. zool. Vratislav., 1829, p. 58. Boulenger, Cat. Batr. Sal. Brit. mus., 1882, p. 313. Type locality: --Java. This large toad does not seem to be common anywhere. It is very rare in Batavia, and constant search, the offering of special inducements to the natives, etc., brought in only three adults at Buitenzorg. Here also Bryant got the same number as well as an additional one at Gunung Bunder, Mt. Salak. It occurs on Sumatra, Borneo, and Java, as well as on the mainland up to Tenasserim. Bufo borbonicus (Bon;). Plate 8, fig. 33. Bore, Isia, 1827, p. 294. Boulenger, Cat. Batr. Sal. Brit. Mus., 1882, p. 286-287. Horst, Notes Leyden mus., 1883, 6, p. 236. Type locality: --Java.
