pectoral regions thickly speckled with dark ash ; a few larger splotches of 

 the same in front of aDd at the groin. The cross-hands of the tibia ex- 

 tend on the skin that covers the flexors of the foot so as to be seen from 

 below. 

 Four specimens ; No. 14179. 



14. Hylodes polypttchus, sp. nov. 



Vomerine teeth in two transverse series behind the posterior borders and 

 within the lines of the internal borders of the choanre. Tympanic disc 

 a vertical oval, the long diameter two-thirds that of the orbit. Limbs 

 short, the heel only reaching the muzzle. The toes are rather long, have 

 rather small oval dilatations and are perfectly free at the base. The head 

 is short, and the muzzle has an oval outline, and projects a little beyond 

 the mouth. Its length anterior to the orbit equals the diameter of the 

 same, and the nostril is nearly terminal. Two distinct metatarsal tuber- 

 cles, the internal with a ratber prominent apex. The tubercles below the 

 bases of the phalanges are rather prominent. The skin of the abdomen 

 is areolate. That of the upper surfaces is plicate and tuberculate. The 

 plicae are interrupted, and may be regarded as forming eight longitudinal 

 series, the external of which are dorso-lateral. Below these the sides are 

 tubercular ; as are also the spaces between the dorsal plica 1 , the superior 

 surfaces of the limbs, and the top of the head, especially the superior face 

 of the eyelids. An external fold on the distal half of the tarsus. 



Length of head and body, .027 ; of head to posterior line of tympanum, 

 .009 ; width at anterior line of do., .011. Length of fore limb, .015 ; of 

 hind limb, .037 ; of hind foot, .018 ; of tarsus, .0073; of tibia, .012. 



Color above dark ashen, with indistinct shades. Four dark spots on 

 upper lip ; a dark shade above and posterior to axilla ; four narrow black 

 cross-bands on thigh, two across tibia and four across external side of foot. 

 Inferior surfaces dirty white. Posterior face of thigh and gular region 

 thickly clouded with brown.
