Remarks.—(From Boulenger.) “It is a sluggish and tho- 
roughly nocturnal animal. Nothing has been observed concern- 
ing its breeding-habits; but I find the eggs to be large, those 
in the oviduct of a specimen 83 millim. long measuring 3 
millim. in diameter. * * * tadpoles are found in mountain 
streams with gravelly beds and are remarkable for the funnel- 
like float formed by the lips, which are beset with minute horny 
teeth; these are not connected in any way with definite ridges 
or lamellz, but radiate along the anterior surface of the funnel. 
According to Annandale, the funnel-shaped lip is capable of as- 
suming two very distinct forms, according to the position of the 
tadpole:—(1) When the animal is hanging from the surface- 
film, as it frequently does, this structure becomes a translucent 
rhomboidal or lozenge-shaped float, depressed in the center 
towards the mouth, but otherwise nearly flat; (2) when, on 
the other hand, the animal is resting on the bottom, the float 
takes on the appearance of a pair of slender processes, continued 
upwards on the sides, like a pair of horns. As in other
