equal to about one half its diameter ; fingers without discs, first finger equalling 

 second in length; toes without discs; tip of first toe reaching well beyond the 

 large second subarticular tubercle of the second toe; two well-developed meta- 

 tarsal tubercles, the inner the larger; soles with many small scattered tuber- 

 cles, subarticular tubercles large; no tarsal fold; the bent limb being adpressed 

 along the side, knee and elbow overlap considerably; the hind limb being 

 adpressed the tibiotarsal articulation reaches about two thirds of the distance 

 between eye and nostril; the hind limbs being placed vertically to the axis of 

 the body, the heels overlap considerably ; skin above rather coarsely granular, 

 a fine middorsal glandular line and a well-developed glandular dorsolateral 

 fold ; throat and belly smooth ; posterior aspect of thighs rather coarsely granu- 

 lar; belly with a strongly marked discoidal fold. 



Colour (in life): — Varied brown with darker blotches, usually a dark 

 cross-bar between the eyes and along the canthal and tympanic regions. Usu- 

 ally a conspicuous lumbar spot and two broad, pale dorsolateral stripes. The 

 anterior aspect of thighs and the posterior aspects of the tibial regions are 

 usually bright coral-pink, especially brilliant in the males. 



Dimensions: — Tip of snout to vent 41 mm. 



Width of head 19 mm. 



Diameter of eye 5 mm. 



Diameter of tympanum 3 . 25 mm. 



Fore limb from axilla 23.5 mm. 



Hind limb from vent 63 mm. 



Vent to heel 37 mm. 



Eleutherodadylus cuneatus is the largest member of its genus found in Cuba; 

 it is also by no means common although it ranges widely. Like E. diinidiatus, 

 it was first described from Wright's collection made in eastern Oriente; it 

 occurs also on Monte Libano and at Bayate (Ramsden), near Santiago (Wirt 

 Robinson) and in the Sierra Maestra, at Soledad near Cienfuegos and in the 

 Sierra de Guane in western Pinar del Rio (Barbour). The specimen described 

 and measured from near Baracoa is the largest we have ever seen. It is a wood- 

 land species and one which appears to be found mostly in the damper moun- 

 tainous forests.
