Add to the diagnosis of Leiuperus marmoratiis : " Space between 

 the eyes as broad as the diameter of the eyes." And also add 

 a second species — 



2. Leiuperus sagittifer.

Space between the eyes very nan-ow. Above bluish brown with 

 lighter markings ; an arrow-shaped line from the muzzle to the 

 anus (Schmidt). — New Granada. 



The genus ARTHROLEPTIS of Smith (III S. Afr. Rept. App. 

 ]). 24) might folli)w \\v\\% but the description there given does not offer 

 sufficient characters to cUstinguish it from Leiuperus. On the other 

 hand, the specimen itself upon which the species is founded has 

 suffered so much as not to enable me to complete that description.

There was in the Collection of Sir A. Smith a specimen of that 

 scarce frog named Ceratophnine nasuta by Prof. Schlegel. It is a 

 native of Sumatra, and not of Borneo. In all the anatomical characters 

 and in genersil appearance it is so closely allied to Megahphnjs 

 montana, that it might be jjlaced in the same genus ; but there 

 not being even a rudiment of a web between the toes, I am obhged 

 not only to adopt the genus estabhshed by Schlegel, but to place it 

 in the family Asterophrydidir. 



Pam. 4. ASTEROPHRYDID^. 



Stpwpsis of the Genera. 



1. Ceratophryne. No vomerine teeth. EyoUd and muzzle pro- 



longed into a single cutaneous appendage. 



2. Asterophrys. Vomerine teeth numerous. Each eyehd with 



several cutaneous appendages.
