Hah. Picliinclia (11-12,000 feet) ; Valley of Collanes (12,500 feet) ; Coto- 

 caclii (13,000 feet) ; Tortorillas, Cliiml>orazo (13,200 feet). Six specimens. 



Habit of Hi/la arhorea. Tongue oval, entire. Vomeiine teetli in two 

 oblique series behind tlie clioan;^. Snout idunded, as long as the greatest 

 orl.)ital diameter, with distinct canlhus rostralis ; nostril nearer the lip of 

 the snout than the eye ; interorl.)ital space a little liroader than the upper 

 eyelid ; tympanum hidden. Fingers moderate, first shorter than second ; 

 toes moderate, (piite free ; disks and sub- 

 articular tubercles moderate ; two meta- 

 tarsal tubercles. The hind lind) being car- 

 ried foi'wards along the body, the tibio-tax-sul 

 articulation reaches the angle of the nuiuth. 

 Skin of up]>er surface tuliercular ; on the 

 liack the tubercles are confluent into more 

 or less distinct longitudinal lines ; l)elly 

 granulate. Dark olive-lnown al.)ove (in one 

 specimen with a few light sjxits) ; greyish or 

 reddish brown, immaculate or marbled with 

 dark brown, beneath ; upjier lip whitish. 



In the specimen from the valley of Collanes and in that from the mountain 

 Cotocachi the front and hinder sides of tlie thighs are tinged with magenta 

 red. From snout to vent 27 millim. 



H. IVliijmperi resembles H. unistriijatits in general ajipearance ; l)ut the 

 latter has a distinct tympanum, larger digital expansions, the skin smooth, 

 or neai'ly smooth, aljove, and a strong fold across the chest. 



Besides these three well-characterised Hijlodes thei'e are eleven very small 

 specimens from Chillo, 9 to 15 millim. long from snout to vent, too young 

 to be projierly determined. U2)on these Mr. Whyniper observes, " This 

 miniature species was first brought to my notice by an English resident ; 

 and he assured me that the largest of the specimens represents the full size 

 of the sjiecie,*." This is evidently a mistake, as all the specimens prove to be 

 young. They perhaps belong to a new s]iecies ; Imt with the materials before 

 me I will not venture to descril)e it.
