canthus rostralis distinct ; loreal region slightly concave ; nostril a 

 little nearer to the end of the snout than to the eye ; interorbital 

 space broader than the upper eyelid ; tympanum one third the 

 diameter of the eye. Fingers slightly, toes hardly two-thirds 

 webbed, the web scarcely developed between the two inner toes ; 

 disks of fingers as large as the tympanum, of toes rather smaller ; 

 subarticular tubercles well developed, The tibio-tarsal articulation 

 reaches the eye. Skin smooth above, granular beneath ; a fold 

 from the eye to the shoulder. Eeddish brown above, with in- 

 distinct markings ; thighs colourless in front and behind ; legs with 

 rather indistinct dark cross bands. 



From snout to vent 1'5 inches. 



Hab. Darjeeling. A single specimen is known, in which the 

 absence of vomerine teeth is probably accidental.

 Rhacophorus nanus, Boukny. Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 81. 



Vomerine teeth in two small groups between the choanae. A 

 conical papilla on the middle of the tongue. Snout rounded or 

 subacuminate, a little shorter than the diameter of the orbit ; 

 canthus rostralis angular ; loreal region slightly concave ; nostril 

 nearer to the tip of the snout than to the eye ; interorbital space 

 as broad as the upper eyelid or broader ; tympanum one third the 

 diameter of the eye. Fingers with a rudiment of web ; toes half 

 webbed in the young, generally almost entirely in the adult ; disks 

 of fingers and toes as large as the tympanum ; subarticular tu- 

 bercles moderate. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the tip of the 

 snout, or somewhat beyond. Upper parts smooth or with smah 1 

 tubercles ; a fold above the tympanum ; belly and under surface of 

 thighs granular. Brownish above, with symmetrical dark markings 

 on the back ; sometimes a light vertebral stripe ; limbs with dark

Vomerine teeth in two small oblique groups between the choana?. 

 Snout rounded, a little shorter than the diameter of the orbit ; 

 canthus rostralis rounded ; loreal region very slightly concave ; 

 nostril equally distant from the end of the snout and the eye ; 

 interorbital space broader than the upper eyelid ; tympanum one
