ADDITIONS TO THE HERPETOLOGICAL FAUNA OF THE 
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, I

SEVEN PLATES 
New and rare frogs, lizards, and snakes have been found 
during recent herpetological collecting in parts of the Philippines. 
Although these collections were made prior to the actual public- 
ation of my monographs,: the descriptions could not be in- 
cluded therein because those books were in type. For this 
reason papers on these new collections will be published in the 
Philippine Journal of Science, of which the present is the first. 
The following notes from my field books show where the chief 
collections were made and collecting dates: 
NORTHERN LUZON 
I returned to the Philippine Islands from the United States in 1920 
and arrived at Manila on March 30. On April 11, I proceeded to Baguio 
where I joined Prof. H. Otley Beyer and Dr. Robert L. Schofield. 
April 12. Specimens of Kaloula rigida sp. nov., Rana luzonensis, and 
Sphenomorphus jagori were collected near Baguio. 
April 13. Our party left Baguio for the north, going by automobile 
to kilometer 14. Here I collected a few specimens of Polypedates leu- 
comystax, Rana luzonensis, and Rana magna. We reached camp 30 in the 
evening. 
April 14. An adult specimen of Oxyrhabdium leporinum was collected. 
April 15. The day was spent in the vicinity of Haight’s place, Pauai, 
but no reptile or amphibian was seen or heard. Mr. Haight said that frogs 
were occasionally seen. 
April 16. Collecting along the trail between Haight’s and camp 88 
yielded neither amphibian nor reptile. 
April 17. A specimen of Cornufer subterrestris was collected at kilo- 
meter 101. Professor Beyer left for Cervantes. 
April 18. A specimen of Peropus mutilatus was taken in the presidencia 
of Subangan. Specimens of a Mabuya were shot near the trail.
