Variation —A third specimen in my collection agrees fairly 
well in proportions with the other two, but is smaller. In this 
specimen the following differences in markings are evident: The 
ground color of the back is much lighter along the dorsolateral 
line; the sides are lighter with only a narrow dark line along the 
upper part; the chin and underside of limbs are somewhat more 
densely powdered with brown. 
Remarks.—Three specimens are in my collection. They were 
taken in low mountains near Bunawan, Agusan, Mindanao. They 
may be related to Girard’s species Rana mindanensis, of Minda- 
nao, but they differ from it in a few essential points. In #. 
mindanensis the eyelid equals the interorbital region, and the 
toes are entirely webbed; the coloration also is different. Other 
differences are evident on a comparison of the two descriptions.

Description of species——(From Boulenger.) ‘“Vomerine teeth 
in two short oblique series commencing on a line with the hinder 
edge of the choane. Head moderate, as long as broad; snout 
short, rounded, as long as the diameter of the orbit; canthus 
rostralis angular; loreal region slightly concave; nostril equi- 
distant from the orbit and the end of the snout; interorbital 
space as broad as or a little narrower than the upper eyelid; 
tympanum distinct, three-fifths the diameter of the eye. Fingers 
moderate, the tips swollen or dilated into very small disks; first 
finger extending slightly beyond second; toes moderate, two-thirds 
webbed, the tips dilated into small but very distinct disks; sub- 
articular tubercles moderate; inner metatarsal tubercle elliptical, 
flat, measuring two-fifths or one-half the length of the inner toe:
