Cornufer subterrestris sp. nov. 
Type.—No. 707, E. H. Taylor collection; collected near kilo- 
meter 101, on the Mountain Trail, Mountain Province, Luzon, 
April 17, 1920, by E. H. Taylor. 
Description of type—Male. Choane small, very far forward 
and near to each other, not concealed by overhanging jaw; 
vomerine teeth very dim, represented by a rugose area some- 
what between and behind choanz; tongue elongate, with two 
posterior horns, which are very narrowly separated at base, and — 
a tubercle on the anterior part; openings to vocal sacs elongate 
slits near angle of jaws; top of head rather curving forward; 
canthus rostralis distinct; upper part of loreal region slightly 
oblique, lower part strongly oblique; nostrils about halfway 
between orbit and extreme point of snout; eye large, diameter 
of orbit equal to or very slightly less than length of snout; inter- 
orbital area nearly double upper eyelid; distance between nostrils 
much less than interorbital distance; tympanum moderately dis- 
tinct, about two-fifths diameter of orbit; skin of head smooth; 
no tubercle on eyelid; apparently no supratympanic fold; skin 
on back and sides smooth (in the middle of the back the skin 
is puckered and drawn forming a small blind sac; this appears 
to be a normal condition) ; skin of chin and throat smooth, that 
on belly very indistinctly granular; area about anus very dimly 
granular; fingers somewhat flattened, the tips dilated into disks, 
those of the two outer fingers larger than those of the two 
inner; subarticular and carpal tubercles rather indistinct; toes 
slightly flattened, with very small disks; a slight web at base of 
toes; third toe longer than fifth; subarticular tubercles rather 
dim; inner metatarsal tubercle present; outer, if present, very 
dim. 
Color in life—Above purplish without markings on head; sides 
dark purplish brown with large rounding spots of cream to 
yellow, more prominent on groin and axilla; upper part of limbs 
purplish; on sides and below with large, cream-yellow, irregular 
spots; throat dusky; belly dusky, reticulated with cream.
