15. Rana modesta. (Plate I. fig. 3.) 



Vomerine teeth in two oblique oval groups commencing on a 

 level with the jjinder edge of the choana3 ; lower jaw with two gene- 

 rally strong bony prominences in front, directed backwards. Head 

 moderate ; snout short, rather pointed ; interorbital space nearly as 

 broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum distinct, not quite two thirds 

 the size of the eye. Fingers moderate, first extending much be- 

 yond second ; toes moderate, entirely webbed ; cutaneous fringe 

 along the outer side of the fifth toe slightly developed ; tips of toes 

 dilated into small disks ; subartieular tubercles of fingers and toes 

 moderate ; inner metatarsal tubercle small, oval ; no outer tubercle. 

 The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tibio- 

 tarsal articulation reaches a little beyond the eye. Skin of the back 

 •with rather indistinct short longitudinal glandular folds ; upper eve- 

 lids tubercular ; a more or less distinct fold of the skin between the 

 latter ; a strong fold above the tympanum. Brown above, indis- 

 tinctly spotted ; sometimes two lighter vittaj on the back and the 

 canthi rostrales, meeting on the tip of the snout ; sometimes alight 

 dorsal stripe ; hinder side of thighs dark brown, white-marbled ; 

 beneath more or less speckled with brown. Male with two small 

 internal vocal sacs. From snout to vent 7 centim. 



This new species is allied to B. tu/rina and R. macrodon. It 

 differs from both by the much smaller size and the arrangement of 

 the vomerine teeth ; from the former chiefly by a broader interor- 

 bital space and smaller tympanum, longer fingers, slightly developed 

 vocal sacs, &c. ; from the latter by a smaller head, generally a nar- 

 rower interorbital space, and the presence of vocal sacs.
