THE HERPETOLOGY OF HISPANIOLA 43 



hind limb being extended forward, the heel reaches the tip of the 

 snout; hind limbs being placed vertically to the axis of the body, 

 the heels considerably overlap; a large, prominent, rectangular gland 

 above the shoulder and another smaller one below it in front of the 

 arm; a larger diamond-shaped gland on the flank in front of the 

 hindleg; the largest and longest gland extending along the posterior 

 part of the femur almost to the knee; no dorsolateral line of glands; 

 skin above finely glandular, with very small elongate rows of glands 

 anastomosing in every direction; traces of a median glandular line 

 on top of snout, less noticeable on the back; throat and chest smooth; 

 belly very faintly granular, thighs more heavily granular below the 

 vent. The type is unique. 



Dimensions: Tip of snout to vent, 56 mm.; width of head, 20 mm.; 

 tip of snout to posterior tympanum, 20 mm.; diameter of eye, 6.5 

 mm.; foreleg from axilla, 34 mm.; hindleg from vent, 94 mm.; vent 

 to heel, 55 mm. 



Color in alcohol: Dorsal surface immaculate seal brown to Indian 

 purple, becoming dark fawn color on the limbs, where faint lighter 

 cross bands may be seen; the large gland above shoulder and in front 

 of groin ochraceous, the femoral gland clay color; ventral suface olive- 

 buff with pale indistinct suffusions on throat and chest, darker suf- 

 fusions on lower surfaces of hindlegs; head without definite pattern 

 except for a dull light and dark mottling on the upper lip ; lower sur- 

 faces of hands and feet dark.

1935. Eleutherodactylus darlingtoni Cochran, Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. 

 40, No. 6, p. 368.— Barbour, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 82, No. 2, p. 93, 

 1937. 



Diagnosis. — Similar to the species Eleutherodactylus glandulifer in 

 possessing large, conspicuous glands above the arm, in front of the 

 groin, and on the whole posterior surface of the femur. Differs 

 from E. glandulifer in its much shorter and blunter snout, in the shorter 

 toes with larger disks, in the shorter legs, and in its smaller size, 41 

 mm. from snout to vent. 



Type. — M.C.Z. No. 19847, an adult male from near La Visite, La 

 Selle Kange, Haiti, collected between September 16 and 23, 1934, at 

 5,000 to 7,000 feet altitude by P. J. Darlington. 



Description of the type. — Tongue subcylindrical, rather broad, very 

 slightly emarginate behind; vomerine teeth in two heavy, triangular, 

 slanting patches behind the choanae, well separated in the midline 

 and extending to the level of the center of the choanae; head blunt and 

 short, without ridges, its greatest width considerably exceeding the 

 distance from end of snout to occiput; no apparent subgular pouch or
