Variation.—The listed measurements record the chief pro- 
portional differences which occur in three specimens. Three 
other specimens in the collection are of the same size as the two 
smaller specimens whose measurements are given. In color and 
markings they vary but little. 
This species is related to Cornufer jagori (Peters), from 
Samar, and possibly also to C. vitianus Duméril, of the Fiji 
Islands. From Cornufer jagori it appears to differ in having 
shorter hind legs, the tibiotarsal articulation reaching about to 
nostril instead of beyond snout, the first finger being distinctly 
longer than second, the lingual papilla being present, in being 
much larger in size, and in having greater ruggedness of skin 
and width of head. 
Specimens were collected in the immediate vicinity of water, 
at low elevations, usually under leaves or logs along the edges 
of small mountain streams. Many other specimens taken were 
lost in shipment. Not rare at Bunawan.
