Abstract

On the basis of a six-day survey of southeastern Bangladesh Occidozyga lima appeared to be a common species in the Teknaf Penisula.  The most common amphibians of the region are the Cricket Frog Limnonectes limnocharis, Skipping Frog Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis, Ornate Narrow-mouthed Frog Microhyla ornata, Indian Bull Frog Hoplobatrachus tigerinus and Common Toad Bufo melanostictus.  Two species of tree frogs Polypedates leucomystax and Polypedates maculatus are also common.
