Variation.—Two cotypes, taken in the same immediate local- 
ity, vary little in essential characters; the granulation is not 
so strongly defined in either of the other specimens collected. 
No. 1699A has two rather strong tubercles between the eyes, 
which are but dimly suggested in the type. No. 1269B is light 
lavender-brown. A distinct black area lies between the eyes and 
involves part of the upper lids. A few scattered black spots 
are between the shoulders. Two large elongate spots are present 
on each side of the back. The limbs are strongly barred with 
reddish brown. This specimen has suffered an injury which 
has destroyed the side of the head and one forelimb. 
Remarks.—The species appears to be related to Philautus 
woodi Stejneger, but differs in the size and arrangement of the
