eyelid; tympanum rather obscure, small, less than one-fourth the 

 diameter of eye; fingers moderate, first shorter than second; toes 

 moderate, free; disks rather large, rounded; large inner metatarsal 

 tubercle, no outer; tibio-tarsal articulation of extended hind limb 

 reaches center of eye ; skin of entire animal above and below, includ- 

 ing soles of feet, strongly granular, the granules or rounded tubercles 

 of the upper surface about the same size as those of the lower, but not 

 so close together; a weak pectoral fold; a strong, tubercular supra- 

 tympanic fold from eye backward to above shoulder. Color (in 

 alcohol) above dark drab, sprinkled with minute dark dots; a large 

 irregular, X-shaped dark brown mark beguming on the eyehds and 

 extending to the sacrum, the lines crossing behind the head; a dark 

 band, light-edged above, from nostrils through eye and ear to sides 

 of body where it dissolves into numerous minute dark spots; limbs

Remarks. — In a second specimen, about the same size as the type, 

 the ground color is paler and th« dark color pattern consequently 

 better contrasted. A slightly younger specimen, from the same 

 locality, has this pattern less conspicuous, the X mark not being 

 soHd dark, but only its edges outlined by dusky lines. 



Named in honor of Prof. H. W. Foote, the naturalist of the expedi-

LEPTODACTYLUS RUBIDO (Cope)? 



A single specimen was collected at San Miguel, at an altitude of 

 6,000 feet. It is very much hardened and shrunken, hence there is 

 some uncertainty as to the characters of the toes and the glandular 

 ridges. The toes do not seem to be provided with a dermal margin 

 and the upper surface appears to be smooth without folds on back or 

 sides. The tongue is entire behind; the vomerine teeth are arranged 

 in two straight series behind and not extending outward beyond the 

 center of the large choanae. The color (in alcohol) above is a kind of 

 bluish gray; on each side of the back as far as the sacrum is a narrow 

 blackish dorso-lateral line, and on the sacrum numerous small rounded 

 blackish spots; there is a broken blackish line on the upper lip; the 

 underside of the body is dark brown with numerous whitish dots, 

 that of the hind legs whitish marbled with small dark brown spots.
