2 large and 3 small specimens from Tanga "' 1905. - - 1 small specimen Tanga 

 s / 6 1905. 



One of the larger of these specimens is figured on the accompanying plate fig.

It has a rather characteristic but not exactly ranoid appearance. 



liana mcrumoiitaiia n. sp. 

 (PI. 1 fig. 4 a & 4 b). 



Vomerine teeth in two transverse but somewhat oblique rows, beginning almost 

 on a level with the front-edge of the choanae and with their inner ends which are 

 directed a little backwards, not reaching on a level with the middle of the choanae. 

 Greatest posterior breadth of head about equal to 3 /4 of its length. Canthus rostralis 

 indistinct. Snout rounded very little projecting much longer than the orbit. Loreal 

 region concave. Nostril about equally distant from eye and tip of snout. Interorbi- 

 tal space nearly twice as broad as upper eyelid. Tympanum distinct, its diameter 

 about one half the diameter of the eye. Fingers pointed, long, second longer than 

 first, fourth longer than second, third much the longest. Toes very long and slender, 

 pointed, not webbed, the web being confined to the metatarsals. Distance from tarsal 

 joint to tip of longest toe equal to the distance from snout to vent. A rather small 

 metatarsal tubercle. Length of tibia equal to 2 / 3 of the length of the foot from the 

 tarsal joint, and about equal to the fore limb; tibio-tarsal articulation reaching far 

 beyond the snout. Skin smooth, dark brownish grey above. A black band from 

 nostril over eye and tympanum to forelimb : another irregular band from axilla to 

 groin. Flanks grey, some dark spots across forearm and tibia. Under parts white 

 almost unspotted but lips dark brown. 



One specimen from the Mem mountain 3,000 m. above the sea, caught the 21t 

 of Dec. 1905.

liana fuscigiila DUM. & BIBR. BOULENGER Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 50. 



6 specimens from Mem rain-forest 3,000 m. above the sea level, "/is Via 1905. 

 - 1 specimen from the same locality although caught higher up, between 3,500 and 

 4,000 m. 



All these specimens are young and thus not so easily recognized, but I have 

 had the pleasure of consulting D:r G. A. BOULENGER about them and he has kindly 

 told me that they are to be regarded as representatives of Eana fuscigula. The web 

 on the hind feet is rather deeply emarginate. The lower side of some specimens is 

 spotted, marmorated with dark all over, while in some others it is unspotted with the 

 exception of the lower jaw.
