the fingers; hind limb being carried forward, the tibiotarsal 
joint does not reach the tip of the snout, only to about the nos- 
trils; skin smooth above, (possibly with some longitudinal folds, 
but that cannot be decided on account of the state of the speci- 
men) coarsely granular on the whole underside, including the 
throat; a distinct tubercle on the upper eyelid.” 
Color.—‘Above pale brownish gray with small, irregular, dark 
brownish spots; snout decidedly brownish; a very distinct black- 
ish brown band across the top of the head at the anterior end of 
the upper eyelids, involving them and continuing below the eye to 
the edge of the lip; tympanic region dark, but loreal region pale 
brown as the snout and without dark stripe; underside pale, 
finely dusted over with brownish; limbs with traces of dark 
cross bars.” 
Measurements of Cornufer worcesteri Stejneger. 
mm. 
Total length 28 
Width of head 12 
Length of foreleg 17 
Length of hind leg, from vent to tip of longest toe 45 
Remarks.—The type specimen is in an indifferent state of 
preservation. According to Stejneger the species is most closely 
related to Cornufer jagori Peters, from Samar. The toe and 
finger disks are larger. The coloration seems to be distinctive, 
especially the frontal crossband.

Description of species —(From No. 69, Bureau of Science col- 
lection. Taken from the belly of a specimen of Boiga dendro- 
phila from Luzon.) Vomerine teeth in two slightly oblique 
groups, lying almost wholly behind the posterior level of choane, 
the series rather short, somewhat rounded, separated from each 
other by a distance greater than the length of a single series; 
tongue broad, notched behind, with a large well-developed papilla 
on anterior median line; head much longer than wide; canthus 
rostralis only slightly angular; loreal region strongly concave ; 
interorbital space slightly less than width of upper eyelid; 
diameter of eye a little less than length of snout; nostrils as far 
from each other as their distance from eye; nostril little more 
than one and one-half times as far from eye as from end of 
snout; diameter of tympanum from one-half to two-thirds of
