tion they were picked up. Cornufer cornutus was taken in this 
same shrub. 
The species belongs to the section of the genus characterized 
by the flattened fingers dilated into disks at the tips. I state 
above that the first and second fingers appear to oppose the 
other two. This is true in three of the specimens, but in the 
others the apparent apposition is not so plainly marked. It does 
not appear to be closely related to other Philippine species. :

Type.—No. 861, E. H. Taylor collection; collected May 31, 
1920, at an elevation of about 1,500 meters on Mount Banahao, 
Laguna Province, Luzon, by E. H. Taylor. 
Description of type —Choanz moderate, not concealed by over- 
hanging jaw; two small groups of vomerine teeth lying between 
and behind choanz, beginning near inner posterior edge of 
choane and converging backward, widely separated medially; 
distance between choanez greater than distance between nostrils; 
canthus rostralis distinct; upper part of loreal region perpen- 
dicular, then sloping very obliquely to lip; tip of snout rather 
truncate, sloping obliquely to lip and not extending beyond lower 
jaw; nostril nearer tip of snout than eye; diameter of orbit equal 
to length of snout; upper eyelid equal to or slightly wider than 
interorbital area; tympanum covered with skin, dim, small, a 
little more than one-third the diameter of orbit, separated from 
orbit by a distance equal to more than half its diameter; upper 
eyelid with two large flattened tubercles; a pair of tubercles 
on back of head, and another pair on shoulders; skin on back 
and limbs smooth; loreal region slightly granular; a supratym- 
panic fold begins behind eye and curves downward over upper 
edge of tympanum to insertion of arm; another slight fold curv- 
ing up across angle of mouth, crossing lower part of tympanum; 
a strong tubercle on heel; chin, throat, and belly strongly granu- 
lar; anal region with strong granules; no dorsolateral glan- 
dular folds; hand with three outer fingers flattened, the tips 
dilated into strong disks at least twice as wide as finger; subar- 
ticular tubercles strongly defined, large, rounded, and flattened ; 
small palmar tubercles, three carpal tubercles moderately dis- 
tinct, with a fourth somewhat behind these on wrist; inner 
finger small, not dilated at tip, and less flattened than the others; 
toes flattened and dilated at tips, the disks not more than one 
and one-half times the width of digit; subarticular tubercles
