on the flank in front of the hindleg; a very elongate gland on the pos- 

 terior sui'face of the femur; no pronounced dorsolateral line of large 

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

 glands anastomosing in every direction; a medium glandular line on 

 top of snout, becoming less distinct posteriorly on the body; throat 

 and chest smooth; belly very faintly granular, thighs more heavily 

 granular below the vent. 



Dimensions: Tip of snout to vent, 41 mm. ; width of head, 16 mm. ; tip 

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

 leg from axilla, 30 mm. ; hindleg from vent, 70 nun. ; vent to heel, 40 mm. 



Color in alcohol: Traces of a pale interorbital area followed by a 

 dark transverse bar; dorsal surface immaculate seal brown to Indian 

 purple, becoming dark fawn color on the limbs, on which there are 

 traces of dark cross bands; large glands above shoulder and in front 

 of groin touched with clay color, the femoral gland partly ochraceous ; 

 chin, belly and postanal region dark mouse gray; anterior surface of 

 femur buff-pink with suffusions of olive-gray; remainder of lower 

 surfaces of hindlegs and soles of feet and hands cream-buff also with 

 gray suffusions; no pattern on side of head. 



Paratypes. — Four other topotypic specimens (M.C.Z. Nos. 19848- 

 19850 and U.S.N.M. No. 95422) resemble the type rather closely. 

 The smallest measures 33 mm. from snout to vent. In two of them 

 the glands are not very conspicuous, as the distinctive coloring is 

 no longer present, but a careful examination shows the blisterlike out- 

 lines considerably flatter than in the type. 



Named for Dr. PhUip J. Darlington, the first zoologist to ascend 

 Morne La Hotte.

 vol. 15, p. 96.— Barbour, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 82, No. 2, p. 99, 1937. 



Original description. — " Type, Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

 no. 21,597, apparently a half-grown female, from near La Visite, La 

 Selle Range, 5000-7000 ft., Haiti, collected by P. J. Darlington 

 between September 16 and 23, 1934. 



^^Paratype: Museum of Comparative Zoology, no. 21,598, a juvenile 

 specimen, with the same data and history as the type. 



"Diagnosis. — Possibly most closely related to Eleutherodactylus 

 glandulifer, from which it differs in shape of the snout, shape and 

 position of the vomerine teeth, and in coloration. This new form is 

 seen also to possess larger lateral glands in front of the groin, when 

 compared with young glandulifer of a more or less similar size. 



"Description. — Tongue subtriangular, not nicked behind; vomerine 

 teeth in two short, oblique groups behind the choanae (indefinable
