Norz.—I hesitate to introduce into this Fauna a frog which Cope described as Phyllobates truncatus (Proc. 
Ac. N. Sc. Philad. 1860, p. 372) and later on as Hylaplesia truncata (ibid. 1863, p. 42), He was uncertain 
as to its origin, and although he gives ‘ Panama” as locality in Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus. no. 32, p. 19, he does 
not add an authority for this statement. However, I reproduce here what is known of this frog ; it is omitted 
in Boulenger’s Catalogue :— 
Skin smooth, above and below. Tongue small, linear, entire. First and second fingers equal in length ; 
disks one-fourth the size of the tympanum; anterior limbs more than half the length of posterior. Front 
and canthus rostralis convex; snout concave, truncate, elevated. Tympanum less than half the size of the 
eye. A transverse bony ridge on the occiput. Coloration a dark ferruginous maroon above and below. A 
pale curved line on each side, beneath this another which unites with its fellow on the anterior part of the 
abdomen. From this point of junction a medial band takes its rise and bifurcates behind. A pair of parallel 
lines on the throat, which unite anteriorly, following the curve of the mandible. Limbs sparsely and irregularly 
faintly spotted. 
“A certain serrulation of the alveolar ridge of the maxillary bone greatly resembles dentition.” 
Fam. BRACHYCEPHALIDA.
