ends of the digits dilated. During the breeding season these 
frogs are incredibly common about Manila, even on the streets; 
they may be taken in quantity at this time, after which they 
disappear and are very rarely found. They seem to be wholly 
terrestrial or subterrestrial. The species is known in Luzon, 
Negros, and Mindoro. Three specimens in my collection, pre- 
sented to me by W. Schultze, are said to be from Dumaran Island, 
near Palawan. This locality I believe doubtful.

Remarks.—This species is known from Java, Celebes, and the 
Philippine Islands. Two specimens in the British Museum were 
collected by Dr. A. B. Meyer, at Laguna de Bay. It is noted 
that Meyer also collected this species in Celebes and that speci- 
mens from that locality also are in the British Museum. As the
