THE HERPETOLOGY OF HISPANIOLA 63 



Ty^e.—M.C.Z. No. 19846, an adult from Tardieu, Massif de la 

 Hotte, Haiti, about 3,000 feet altitude, collected in October 1934 by 

 P. J. Darlington. 



Description of the type. — Tongue broad, rounded, not emarginate 

 behind; vomerine teeth in two long, slanting patches behind the 

 choanae, almost meeting at the midline and extending considerably 

 beyond the outer borders of the choanae; head moderate, without 

 ridges, its greatest width a little more than the distance from tip of 

 snout to occiput; no subgular pouch, although a distinct fold occurs 

 across the chest between the fore limbs; nostril much nearer tip of 

 snout than eye, its distance from eye slightly greater than the diameter 

 of the latter; upper eyelid very narrow, slightly over one-half the width 

 of the interorbital space; tympanum equal to two-thirds the diameter 

 of the eye, its distance from the eye less than one-half its own diameter; 

 disks of fingers globular, rather small in size, that of the third finger 

 covering about one-fourth the tympanic area; first and second fingers 

 equal; no webs between fingers or toes; disks of toes about equal to 

 those of the fingers; first toe reaching halfway along penultimate 

 phalanx of second toe; subarticular tubercles well developed; two 

 distinct but small metatarsal tubercles; no large plantar tubercles; 

 no tarsal fold; femur moderate in length; the limbs being pressed 

 along the sides, the knee and elbow touch; hind limb being extended 

 forward, the heel reaches the center of the eye; hind limbs being placed 

 vertically to axis of body, the heels considerably overlap ; no elongate 

 glands on skin; a very faint median dorsal line; some very slight 

 granulations faintly apparent on the lumbar region and between the 

 shoulders; a slight glandular ridge over the tympanum; throat, chest, 

 belly, and lower surfaces of thighs smooth, posterior parts of femur 

 glandular. The type is unique. 



Dimensions: Tip of snout to vent, 39 mm.; width of head, 14 mm.; 

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

 foreleg from axilla, 25 mm. ; hindleg from vent, 57 mm. ; vent to heel, 

 34 mm. 



Color in alcohol: Ground color above French gray; a slate-black 

 lateral longitudinal stripe beginning at the nostril, continuing along 

 the loreal region and over the ear, much interrupted behind the 

 shoulders and widening and breaking up into a coarse anastomosing 

 pattern covering the sides; a simdar median slate-black stripe be- 

 ginning as a triangular blotch on the snout and continuing behind the 

 black irregular interorbital bar as a double series of large and very 

 irregular anastomosing blotches; the pale ground forming a pale 

 interorbital band and two quite regular and distinct dorsolateral 

 stripes between the median and the lateral rows of blotches; upper 

 and posterior surfaces of arms and legs a little more finely vermiculated 

 with slate-black markings; soles of hands and feet mouse gray;
