EAST AFRICAN REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS 1 19 



Five of the series are males, ranging in length from 24 to 30 mm. ; 

 they apparently attain a larger size than the males of marmoratus 

 inhabiting the same regions; though apparently closely related the 

 males of symetricus may be distinguished at once by their very large 

 and granular gular disks, those of the males of marmoratus being 

 smooth or at most only very faintly granular. It may be that some 

 females of symetricus are included in the marmoratus series as the 

 female is unknown. One young frog measures 20 mm.

Doctor Stejneger has discussed this specimen at considerable 

 length and there seems to be no reason for questioning the identifica- 

 tion, especially in view of the fact that I have no topotypic material 

 with which to compare it, and Doctor Stone informs me that the 

 monotype can not be found in the Philadelphia Academy. I might 

 add the following to the description given by Stejneger. The inner 

 toe is webbed just beyond the terminal joint; second toe to terminal 

 joint on one side and nearly to the disk on the other; the fourth toe 

 to the subterminal joint on both sides; the fifth toe to the disk.

When listing the material of the genus Chiromantis in the Berlin 

 Museum recently Doctor Ahl has described four additional species 

 of the genus. Apparently" misled by the rather inaccurate figure of
