RemarJcs. — I know of no species to which the present one is par- 

 ticularly closely allied. In some respects it appears to resemble R. 

 everetti Boulenger, from the Philippines, particularly in the position of 

 the nostrils, but in detail there are more differences than similarities. 

 The forward position of the nostrils in R. everetti is even exceeded in 

 our sf)ecies, and the vomerine teeth, digital disks, length of hind 

 limb, etc., are totally different.
