from corner of eye to in front of foreleg; legs strong, hind legs 
(tip of toe to anus) longer than distance from snout to anus; 
fingers free, first much shorter than second, latter nearly same 
length as fourth; tips of fingers and toes not dilated into disks; 
subarticular tubercles well developed; toes about one-third 
webbed, very large; an inner metatarsal tubercle longer than 
first toe, outer metatarsal tubercle much smaller, prominent, 
their edges rather sharp and hard; tarsus without fold; males 
with simple vocal sac which opens by a pair of slits on side 
of tongue; underside of chin of males with two or three large 
folds of skin; a slight fold frequently evident across head behind 
eyes; tongue free and entire behind; pupil vertical; the tibio-

Color in life-—The specimens vary in color from a dull muddy 
drab to dull red, through varying shades of olive and olive 
brown. Back with a large irregular blotch of darker color, fre-

two horns on his head; dark laterally, becoming lighter on belly;

Remarks.—There can be no doubt as to the distinctness of 
the two species, Kaloula picta and K. conjuncta. None of the 
Specimens at hand, male or female, of the former species has the
