Question :4 |
| Hello friends,
Keep up the great work.
Some suggestions for your consideration:
* Please state which of the lost species are recognised taxa.
* Please add links to the old literature. Many of them will be available on archive.org or can be placed there so all can read.
* An authoritative article on these lost amphibians of India would make interesting reading.
* Please wikilink the Wikipedia page wherever it exists for each of the Lost Amphibians of India.
* Please provide a link to a comprehensive Indian checklist, preferably a published, peer-reviewed one. |

Question :5 |
| As discussed with Prof Biju earlier over e-mail, I would like to try to locate the following two species of lost amphibians from Bengal where I live and work: 1) CALCUTTA FROG (Fejervarya assimilis) originally described as Rana assimilis by Edward Blyth in 1852. 2) BENGAL TOAD (Fejervarya brama) originally described as Rana brama by Rene Primevere Lesson in 1834.

Question :6 |
| Hello Sir, Iam Sandeep Varma, from Cochin and Iam a registered member of LAI. I had this doubt in my mind for sometime and would like to clear it out.
I went through the list of Wanted Amphibians, some are stated as Last seen 90 yrs ago. Is it actually, that it has been 90 yrs since we have sighted the species in the wild or its been 90 yrs since a new specimen of the species has been collected?

| Answers |
| 1 | Thanks Sandeep. “Last seen” mentioned for each species is calculated from the date of collection, if available. If the collection date is not available then the publication date is considered for “Last seen”. This information is also available in the LAI website. By SDB |
