scattered small tubercles on back. Lower surface of head, fore 

 limbs and tarsus, tibia and fibula, smooth. Belly, lower sides and 

 lower femoral regions rather coarsely granular. A fold of skin across 

 chest. 



Limbs all slender. Fingers not webbed. First finger a little 

 shorter than second, little dilated basally. Third finger longest, and 

 tips of all with broad flattened ellipsoid disks, each much less than 

 tympanum. Toes moderate, fourth longest and all well webbed, 

 nearly completely so, and distal disks similar to those of fingers. 

 Two small metatarsal tubercles. Hind edge of tarsus with low fold. 



Color in alcohol largely dull or pale brownish above, lighter or 

 paler below, and of uniform tint. Back with five lengthwise darker 

 streaks, median vertebral as triangle between eyes, and extends on 

 front of upper eyelids. From posterior surfaces of latter each outer 

 streak extends back, while outermost includes tympanum and runs 

 well lateral along body. Upper surfaces of limbs with well-defined 

 cross-bands, especially on femora and tibia. Hind surfaces of femora 

 mottled slightly with dusky. 



Length 30 mm. 



Type, No. 18,115, A. N. S. P. Mountains above Chinibo, 10,000 

 to 10,800 feet elevation, Ecuador. April, 1911. S. N. Rhoads. 



Only a single example, described above. It is related to Hyla 

 auraria Peters from South America. The latter differs in the follow- 

 ing points. Vomerine teeth within the limits of the internal nares, 

 snout long as eye, tympanum vertically oval or two-thirds length of 

 eye, three outer fingers webbed at base and back without five dark 

 longitudinal streaks. 



{Quinqiie, five; fascia, streak; with reference to the color of the 

 back.) 



Nototrema marsupiatum (Dumeril and Bibron). 



One example in poor preservation, taken in swamp-grass on a trip 

 between Hacienda Gorzon to Mount Pichincha, May 11, 1911. In 

 life color light green, breast and sides brassy-yellow, also spot back 

 of eye, and joints of limbs bluish. Length 17 mm. 



CYSTIGNATHIDiE. 



Hylodes conspicillatus Gunther. 



Twenty examples from Bucay, taken in July, 1911. They were 

 found in a little spring-run which extended down into a grassy tract. 

 In habits they suggested Acris, as they would jump into the water, 

 5wim across the brook, and come up again on the opposite side. The
