National Museum also has a large number of specimens from Mount 

 Fuji. Whether tliis species goes farther north than Nikko I do not 

 know. In Sliikoku it has been collected by Dr. H. M. Smith. In the 

 Riu Kius it is replaced by the next species.

POLYPEDATES EIFFINGERI« (Boettger). 



1860. Polypedates biirgerii Hallowell, Proc. Phila. Acad., 1860, p. 501 ("Loo 

 Ghoo Islands") (not of Schlegel). 



1895. Rana eiffingeri Boettger, Zool. Anz., XVIII, July 8, 1895, p. 267 (type- 

 locality, "either, and probably, from Okinawa, of the middle group, or 

 from Ohoshima, of the northern group;" type, Mus. Senckenberg., No. 

 1074a); Offenbach. Ver. Naturk. 33-36 Ber., 1895, p. 104. 



As I have no specimen of P. eiffingeri, 1 give below a translation of 

 Doctor Boettger's original description of the type (fig. 147) which, 

 thanks to his courtesy, I had the pleasure of examining in 1898. Like 

 P. huergeri, the specimen in question has the first finger much shorter 

 than second and the tibia about one-half the total length of head and 

 body. 



a Named for Mr. Georg Eiffinger, of Frankfort on the Main.
