Page 89. Leptopelis aubryi. 



This species has been described by Smith (lU. S. Afr. Rept. App. 

 p. 25) imder the name of Polypedates natalensis. This denomination 

 having the priority, Leptopelis aubryi should bo altered to 



Leptopelis natalensis. 



In several collections this species bears the name of Etirnemis 

 Imcephalus, which was never published with a proper chagnosis. 

 There is generally a brown streak from the muzzle along the canthus 

 rostralis through the eye and tympanum to tlie side of the body. 



All the specimens in the British Museum Collection certainly 

 belong to one and the same species, but in two or three of them the 

 web between the fingers is indistinct, and that between the toes 

 shorter. In all other resjiects they are so similar to Hylambates 

 marmoratus (Dum. Ann. Sc. Nat. 1854, p. 162), as to lead me to be- 

 lieve that this frog also should be referred to Polypedates natalensis 

 of Smith.
