Remarks.—These specimens agree fairly well with the pub- 
lished descriptions of Megalophrys hasselti (Tschudi). The 
two specimens are males; both have internal vocal sacs, the 
openings of which are far back and concealed by skin fold. 
The call of the species sounds like nothing so much as the 
harsh raucous squawk of a chicken. The calls were heard 
while collecting in dense forest at night. Efforts to find them 
at night were fruitless. The spot was visited by daylight and 
after sweeping leaves from over a re cacnoraho i area the two 
specimens were found. 
This is the first record of this species for any Philippine local- 
ity save Palawan. I suspect that it also occurs in Mindanao. 
Gekko porosus sp. nov.

two distinctly enlarged postnasal scales border nostril; a nar- 
row depression between nostrils, continuing backward on
