THE HERPETOLOGY OF HISPANIOLA

coiled around the yolk. Another set of 15 eggs taken in March 1928 

 range in size from 5 to 7 mm., and these show the tadpoles' bodies 

 developing, with distinct limb buds and a flat tail. 



Remarks. — The frog just described from Las Canitas in the Domini- 

 can Republic differs from the description of the type in the following 

 items: The tympanum is two-thirds the diameter of the eye and is 

 separated from the eye by an interval equal to one-half its own diam- 

 eter; the first toe is fairly long, reaching well beyond the distal sub- 

 articular tubercle of the second toe; there are many small plantar 

 tubercles; the adpressed heel reaches to the anterior corner of the eye. 

 The other specimens from the Dominican Republic likewise have the 

 large tympanum close to the eye, and well-developed, small plantar 

 tubercles. The first toe, however, shows a good deal of variation in 

 its length, sometimes reaching midway on the antepenultimate 

 phalanx of the second toe, sometimes only to the distal side of the 

 subarticular tubercle at its base. The length of the hindleg varies 

 also, sometimes having the heel reaching part way to the nostril, 

 sometimes scarcely to the anterior border of the eye. 



There are but two Haitian specimens at hand that can be referred 

 to this species. One is in very poor condition and is recognizable 

 only from its very distinctive vomerine teeth. The other, U.S.N.M. 

 No. 60626, from Moron, has similar teeth and very small plantar 

 tubercles. Its tympanum is small, measuring only one-half the eye 

 diameter and separated from the eye by its own diameter, exactly as 

 the type is said to have it.
