I found a single specimen of this beautiful species in a small col- 

 lection of Batrachians sent by Mr. Fraser from Guayaquil. The 

 specimen appears to be a half-grown incUvidual, with the coloors 

 pretty well preserved, but otherwise not in the best condition. No 

 cutaneous folds or appendages are visible, either of the front or of 

 the hinder extremities. The muzzle is flat, obtuse, roimded ; the 

 tympanum rather more than half the width of the eye ; the foirrth 

 finger is much longer than the second ; the third and fifth toes are 

 equal in length ; at the base of the first fijiger a mdiment of a thumb 

 is visible. Length of the body I!" ; length of the front extremity 

 not quite -I" ; length of the posterior extremity If".
