 au external subgular Aocal sac and black nuptial excrescences on 

 the thumb.

Family VI. PEL0BAT1D.E. 



Upper jaw toothed ; diapophyses of sacral vertebra strongly 

 dilated ; terminal phalanges simple. 



Of the 8 genera of this family, only one is found in India and 

 Burma. The statement, made in several works, that a species of 

 Megcdophrys {M. montana, Kuhl), occurs in Ceylon is based on a 

 specimen in the British Museum purchased from a dealer many 

 j'^ears ago. In the absence of further data, I consider the locality 

 attached to that specimen as probably erroneous.
