baebour: new reptiles and amphibians. 323 



rupted on the median line ; a dark band along each side and many cross-bars on 

 the limbs ; a large very dark brown — almost black — spot on each side of the 

 vent. Throat and sides of chest clouded with dusky brown ; the remainder of 

 the lower parts immaculate. Male with a subgular vocal sac. 



This form is evidently a near relative of M. pulchra (Hallowell), but is easily 

 distinguished by the stout form of body and hind limbs, the scattered tubercles, 

 and the conspicuous black spots. 



Types. — No. 2435, Mus. Comp. Zobl., four specimens from Mt. Wuchi, 

 Central Hainan. Taken by a Japanese collector of Mr. Alan Owston. 



Ceratophrys intermedia, sp. nov. 



Vomerine teeth in a slightly interrupted series between the choanae; this 

 series is not quite straight as in C. fryi, but the two halves point slightly back- 

 ward on the median line. The first and second fingers are of very nearly the 

 same size, the first slightly loDger than the second. The color and granulation 

 of the back is the same as in C. boiei except that there is no conspicuous brown 

 spot below the eye ; and there is a white band joining the orbits. 



Type. — No. 2254, Mus. Comp. Zobl., from Santa Katharina, Brazil. 



This species stands between C. boiei Wied, and G.fryi Giinther. 



Bufo bankorensis, sp. nov. 



Habit very similar to B. himalayanus (Giinther) and B. melanostictus Schneider. 

 It differs markedly from the former in the smoother crown, in that the warts on 

 the upper surfaces of the body, and especially on the legs, are much smaller, 

 more scattered, and subequal. It differs conspicuously from the second men- 

 tioned species in the absence of the cephalic ridges. 



Crown deeply concave, smooth; ridges between eye and nostril very weak; 

 snout short and blunt ; interorbital space much wider than upper eyelid ; tym- 

 panum small, vertically oval, partially covered by a fold of skin. First finger a 

 very little longer than second ; a small inner and an outer palmar tubercle, 

 which is nearly three times as large as the inner one ; subarticular tubercles 

 single, rather prominent. There are many other tubercles on palm and digits. 

 The hind limb being carried forward the tarso-metatarsal articulation reaches 

 beyond the tip of the snout ; toes less than half webbed, the webs with their 

 outer edges denticulate; small, single, subarticular tubercles on all but fourth 

 toe, where they are double; two subequal metatarsal tubercles, the inner the 

 more prominent ; lower surfaces of feet richly tuberculate like the hands. A 

 slightly developed tarsal fold more conspicuous in the male than in the female. 

 Upper surfaces with subequal warts well separated by areas of smooth skin ; in 

 the female specimen the warts show a tendency towards spinosity. The parotoid 

 glands are large, suboval, or tending toward kidney shape. I do not find an 

 internal vocal sac in the male ; in this particular especially is the tendency toward
