FROGS OF COLOMBIA — COCHRAN AND GOIN 341 



Description.— BM 1902.5.15.25, from Villeta, 3,500 feet, Cundi- 

 namarca, Colombia. Vomerine teeth in two short, rather rounded 

 series lying between the moderate-sized oblong choanae; tongue 

 two-thirds as wide as mouth opening, an elongated heart-shape, 

 its posterior border free and shallowly notched. Snout moderate, 

 somewhat pointed when viewed from above, sloping in profile, the 

 upper jaw extending very slightly beyond lower; nostrils more lateral 

 than superior, slightly projecting, their distance from end of snout 

 about one-half that from eye, separated from each other by an interval 

 about equal to their distance from eye. Can thus rostralis well defined; 

 slightly curving; loreal region slightly concave and nearly vertical, 

 the upper lip flaring out slightly below it. Eye moderate, not par- 

 ticularly prominent, its diameter one- third again as great as its dis- 

 tance from nostril; interorbital distance slightly greater than width of 

 upper eyelid, which is obscured by parotoid gland. Palpebral mem- 

 brane not reticulate but with some pigment. Tympanum distinct, 

 about three-fifths the diameter of eye and nearly in contact with it. 

 Fingers unwebbed, fourth finger considerably longer than second and 

 practically as long as third; disk of third covers about three-fourths 

 the tympanic area; no projecting rudiment of a pollex; no true ulnar 

 ridge but side of hand and arm marked by a white line which gives the 

 impression of a ridge. Toes unwebbed, first toe longer than second, 

 fifth longer than third, reaching nearly to disk of fourth which covers 

 about one-half the tympanic area; a distinct oval inner and a rather 

 obscure outer metatarsal tubercle; no definitive tarsal ridge but a 

 pale line along outer surface of foot and tarsus which gives the im- 

 pression of a ridge; no dermal appendage on heel. Body rather elongate, 

 in postaxillary region a little narrower than greatest width of head 

 when hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches anterior margin of eye 

 when limbs are laid along the side, knee and elbow overlap appreciably 

 when hind legs are bent at right angles to body, heels overlap ap- 

 preciably. No patagium. Skin of upper parts very finely glandular, 

 a fairly well-developed parotoid gland extending from upper eyelid to 

 sacrum. Skin between axilla and groin somewhat granular and 

 wrinkled. Skin of throat very finely granular, chest fairly smooth, 

 that of belly and lower thigh uniformly granular; traces of a skinfold 

 across chest; no inguinal gland; female, no vocal sac. Skin of head 

 not co-ossified with skull, roof of skull not exostosed.

 mm.; hand 28.5 mm.

 spots superimposed on some of the granular elevations, and above
