webbed; tips of fingers and toes dilated into disks, those of the 
former large, measuring about two-thirds the width of the tym- 
panum, those of the latter smaller; subarticular tubercles well 
developed; a small oval inner, and an indistinct outer metatarsal 
tubercle. The hind limb being carried forwards along body, 
reaches the tip of the snout. Skin smooth; a rather indistinct 
glandular fold above the tympanum; angles of the mouth glan- 
dular.”’ 
Color.—‘Light greyish brown above, with round dark spots; 
limbs indistinctly cross-barred; under surface of hind limbs 
speckled with greyish brown.” 
Remarks.—Boulenger has given no measurements for this 
Species, but it is presumed that his superb figure reproduced 
here is life size. It measures 88 millimeters from snout to vent. 
The type, a female specimen, is from Zamboanga, and was 
collected by Everett. The species has since been found by the 
same collector in Borneo and Celebes. Rana everetti may be 
distinguished from R. varians (= R. sanguinea Boettger) by 
the following characters: The first finger is shorter than the 
Second; the finger disks are larger, equal to from one-half to 
two-thirds the tympanum; the tibiotarsal articulation reaches 
tip of snout or a little beyond; the males have internal vocal 
Sacs and no humeral gland; a white streak usually borders the 
upper lip. Rana everetti is said to lay its eggs in a frothy mass 
out of the water. 
Description of tadpoles——(From Boulenger.)** “Length of 
body once and a half to once and two-thirds its width, about half 
as long as the tail. Nostrils nearly equally distant from the 
eyes and the.tip of the snout. Eyes on the upper surface, equally 
distant from the tip of the snout and the spiraculum, the distance 
between them a little greater than the distance between the 
nostrils. Spiraculum on the left side, directed upwards and 
backwards, nearer the posterior extremity of the body than the 
end of the snout. Anal opening on the right side close to the 
lower edge of the caudal crest. Tail about thrice and a half 
as long as deep, acutely pointed; crests lower than the muscular 
Portion, the dorsal not extending on the body. Mouth as broad 
as the interocular space; series of labial teeth 4 the outer 
upper and the three lower continuous, the others restricted to 
the sides: lower lip bordered by a double series of papille; beak 
broadly edged with black. Dark brown or blackish above, grey- 
ish below; upper caudal crest dark brown, lower greyish.
