76 BARBOUR: ZOOGEOGRAPHY. 



Hyla dolichopsis (Cope). 



Cope, Journ. Acad. nat. sci. Phila., 1867, ser. 2, 6, p. 204. Boulenqer, Cat. Batr. Sal. Brit, imis., 

 1882, p. 384-385. Van Kampen, Nova Guinea, 1906, 5, p. 171-172. 



Type locality: — Ambon. 



Nine examples were taken at Sorong, New Guinea, and two at Manokwari. 

 An enormous specimen, nearly five inches from nose to vent, was fouiirl in 

 Ternate. 



Boettger (Zool. anz., 1895, 18, p. 136-137) designates the Ternatian ejtamples 

 by a special subspecific name, H. d. tenuigranulata. Among some of the Pajiuan 

 examples are found nuptial asperities of the shape which Boettger has described 

 as peculiar to those from Ternate; while in the figured example which we took 

 in Ternate the tympanum is greater in diameter than are the digital dilations. 

 This condition is the same as that seen in Papuan specimens, and the opposite 

 of what Boettger has noted for the individuals from the Moluccan Islands. 

 The Sorong series shows that the species is subject to considerable variation even 

 in a limited locality. 



This is the most widespread Hyla of this whole region. It has very recently 

 been reported from Java, where it was artificially introduced into the Buitenzorg 

 Botanical Garden; before this it was known from Timor, Talaut, the Moluccas 

 generally, Papuasia, Australia, and some other islands to the eastward. 



Hyla kampeni Bakboub.

 Bull. M. C. Z., 1908, 51, p. 324. 



Tongue subcircular, slightly nicked, and free behind. Vomerine teeth in 

 two short groups between the middle of the choanae, the interspace separating 

 them as wide as one of the groups. Snout rounded, tympanum round ; its diam- 

 eter is equal to two thirds of the distance from eye to nostril. Rudiment of 

 pollux present. Fingers webbed as follows: — second digit two thirds, third 

 wholly, fourth almost wholly, fifth wholly. The toes are all wholly included 

 in the extent of the web. Discs large, almost as large as tympanum. Skin 

 smooth above, belly and lower side of tliighs finely granulate. Upper surfaces 

 greenish brown (dull green in life) , lower surfaces unmarked yellow. 



Type: — No. 2,433, M. C. Z., a single specimen, taken at Wahaai, Ceram, 

 January, 1907, by T. Barbour. 



Hyla kUmpeni is nearly related to H. montana Peters and Doria. It may be 

 readily distinguished by its larger tympanum, greater extent of webbing between 

 the toes, and a more slender build. It is also evidently different from H. am-
