Variation.—Three other specimens, all of which are males, 
taken in the same locality, agree remarkably well with the de- 
‘Scribed specimen, especially in color; two have the entire head 
outlined above with greenish yellow and the lower labials spotted 
with yellow; some of the specimens show the presence of a 
Slight glandular area below, and slightly behind, tympanum. 
These agree with the type description in essential details, 
Save that the tibiotarsal articulation of the type reaches the 
Point of the snout, while in the specimens at hand it reaches 
only a short distance beyond the eye; in these also the head 
is distinctly longer than wide, while in the type the head is as 
long as wide. The fact that the types are considerably larger, 
and probably females, may account for the discrepancy. Either 
the gland on the upper arm was overlooked by Boettger, or it 
is absent in the type. 
Remarks.—The specimens were collected on the extreme 
northern end of Palawan Island. They were found perched on 
yines growing on trees at the edge of small streams. No other 
Specimen was seen. The type locality is Culion, which is near 
Palawan.
