THE HERPETOLOGY OF HISPANIOLA 63 



Type.— M.C.Z. No. 19846, an adult from Tardieu, Massif de la 

 Hotte, Haiti, about 3,000 feet altitude, collected in October 1934 by 

 P. J. Darlington. 



Description of the type. — Tongue broad, rounded, not emarginate 

 behind; vomerine teeth in two long, slanting patches behind the 

 choanae, almost meeting at the midline and extending considerably 

 beyond the outer borders of the choanae; head moderate, without 

 ridges, its greatest width a little more than the distance from tip of 

 snout to occiput; no subgular pouch, although a distinct fold occurs 

 across the chest between the fore limbs; nostril much nearer tip of 

 snout than eye, its distance from eye slightly greater than the diameter 

 of the latter; upper eyelid very narrow, slightly over one-half the width 

 of the interorbital space; tympanum equal to two-thirds the diameter 

 of the eye, its distance from the eye less than one-half its own diameter; 

 disks of fingers globular, rather small in size, that of the third finger 

 covering about one-fourth the tympanic area; first and second fingers 

 equal; no webs between fingers or toes; disks of toes about equal to 

 those of the fingers; first toe reaching halfway along penultimate 

 phalanx of second toe; subarticular tubercles well developed; two 

 distinct but small metatarsal tubercles; no large plantar tubercles; 

 no tarsal fold; femur moderate in length; the limbs being pressed 

 along the sides, the knee and elbow touch; hind limb being extended 

 forward, the heel reaches the center of the eye; hind limbs being placed 

 vertically to axis of body, the heels considerably overlap ; no elongate 

 glands on skin; a very faint median dorsal line; some very slight 

 granulations faintly apparent on the lumbar region and between the 

 shoulders ; a slight glandular ridge over the tympanum ; throat, chest, 

 belly, and lower surfaces of thighs smooth, posterior parts of femur 

 glandular. The type is unique. 



Dimensions: Tip of snout to vent, 39 mm.; width of head, 14 mm.; 

 tip of snout to posterior tympanum, 14 mm.; diameter of eye, 4 mm.; 

 foreleg from axilla, 25 mm.; hindleg from vent, 57 mm.; vent to heel, 

 34 mm. 



Color in alcohol: Ground color above French gray; a slate-black 

 lateral longitudinal stripe beginning at the nostril, continuing along 

 the loreal region and over the ear, much interrupted behind the 

 shoulders and widening and breaking up into a coarse anastomosing 

 pattern covering the sides; a similar median slate-black stripe be- 

 ginning as a triangular blotch on the snout and continuing behind the 

 black irregular interorbital bar as a double series of large and very 

 irregular anastomosing blotches; the pale ground forming a pale 

 interorbital band and two quite regular and distinct dorsolateral 

 stripes between the median and the lateral rows of blotches; upper 

 and posterior surfaces of arms and legs a little more finely vermiculated 

 with slate-black markings; soles of hands and feet mouse gray;
