velopment of the post-temporal folds is not so marked, nor is 
the groove so pronounced. The spécimen is a male and has a 
subgular vocal sac. 
Remarks.—The two specimens listed above were taken in 
rotting logs. They were located by their loud raucous call, 
which differs distinctly from the call of Kaloula rigida sp. nov., 
found breeding in the same immediate locality. The two 
species are known to the Kalinga people by the name gd-ko. 
This species seems to be related to Kaloula baleata (Miiller). 
From the description and drawing of that species given by 
Boulenger it differs particularly in the shape of the fingers pads, 
the length of the third finger, the presence of tubercles on the 
palm, the number of subarticular tubercles under third finger 
and fourth toe, and in the distinctness and size of the tym- 
panum. I have remarked? that Meyer’s specimens of Kaloula 
baleata are the'only ones so far reported from the Philippines; 
there is a chance that an exchange of labels occurred, since 
Meyer collected the same species in Celebes. The Philippine 
specimens purport to come from Laguna de Bay. 
Kaloula negrosensis sp. nov. 
Type.—No, 538, E. H. Taylor collection; collected at Hini- 
garan, Negros, in April, 1915, by E. H. Taylor. 
Description.—Palatine bones forming straight ridges behind 
choane, the ridges widened medially and very narrowly sep- 
arated; choanz very large, separated from each other by a 
distance equal to less than twice the diameter of one, the outer 
edges somewhat hidden by the overhanging jaw; a strongly 
defined denticulate dermal ridge across palate in front of cesoph- 
agus; a second ridge only dimly defined; snout short, trun- 
cate, nostrils near anterior end; canthus rostralis rounded, loreal 
region slightly concave; eye as long*as its distance from end 
of snout; a strong fold begins behind eye and runs in a straight 
diagonal line across the dimly defined tympanum to in front of 
insertion of arm; a fold below tympanum behind angle of mouth, 
separated from tympanic fold by a distinct groove; skin above 
on body with distinct tubercles, practically absent laterally; 
skin on throat, breast, and greater part of belly smooth, some- 
what granular on posterior part of belly, on femur, and about 
anus. Fingers dilated into distinct, truncate disks, nearly a
