BARBOUR AND NOBLE: AMPHIBIANS FROM PERU. 411 



upon the head, the whole back and the upper surface of the legs with many 

 small flattened tubercles, each of which is provided with a hard, horny point, 

 dark in color. Skin of under surface smooth except for the characteristic 

 horny tubercles in the pectoral region characteristic of the male Telmatobius, 

 in the breeding season. Color above brown, a darker band extending from 

 the snout to the foreback forming with two cross-bands drawn from the ear 

 to the shoulder region a feeble double cross; under surface of the body and 

 legs a brown-yellow. 



Habitat. Cordillera de Guatilla, near the town of Palca, two days' 

 journey east of Tacna, Chile (Meyen). 



Remarks. It is highly probable that T. peruvianus is a land-frog 

 with habits similar to those of T. aemaricus, for Meyen says in his 

 account of finding the type: — • 



"Unser Nachtlager schlugen wir einer natiirlichen Hohle des dicht 

 daneben anstehenden Gesteines auf;...gegen Abend Hess sich das 

 Quaken eines Frosches horen." (Reise um die erde, 1834, p. 450). 



Telmatobius pustulosus (Cope). 



Cyclorhamphus pustulosus Cope, Proc. Amer. philos. soc, 1877, 17, p. 39. 

 Telmatobius pustulosus Boulenger, Cat. Batr. Sal. Brit, mus., 1882, p. 192. 



Diagnosis. A rather large species, the skin not especially loose but with 

 tubercles present on sides, belly, lower side of forearm, vent region, and lower 

 back and upper surface of tibia and sole of foot; vomerine teeth barely visible; 

 no distinct color-pattern. 



Habitat. This was another of Professor Orton's discoveries during 

 his exploration of the Peruvian Andes. He secured the type and only 

 specimen known or recorded, at Tinta, a small town at an elevation of 

 11,400 feet in the Department of^Cuzco, Southern Peru. 



Type. Acad. nat. sci. Phil., 11,401; Tinta, Peru; altitude 11,400 ft. 



Description of Type. Size moderate ; head broader than long,»much broader 

 than body, its length contained in the total length of body 3.2 times; snout 

 rounded with no distinct canthus rostralis; nostrils although at the end of the 

 superior plane of the muzzle, equidistant between the orbit and the labial 

 border. Vomerine teeth barely visible, in two very small groups between the 

 choanae which are much enlarged; tongue small, nearly round. Interorbital 

 space 1.2 as broad as the length of the eye; the length of the snout 1.4 as long 

 as the length of the eye; tympanum concealed by the skin, but on one side
