FROGS OF SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL — COCHRAN 237 



for about 60 botanical specimens collected on August 12 is merely 

 "Organ Mts. 1,000-1,500 meters." On August 14, he was at the 

 Museu Paulista in Sao Paulo. It seems probable that the type locality 

 of C. stejnegeri is some wayside station on the railway entering 

 Petr6polis. This town has an elevation of 2,700 feet. 



The type remained the only known specimen until the discovery 

 in March 1945 of addi tonal examples at Teres6polis. A comparison 

 of all these with examples of the southern C. sanctae-catharinae 

 (Miiller) from Rio Humboldt and Rio Novo (this latter a para type), 

 in Santa Catarina, and from Volta Grande, in Parand, indicates that 

 the foot of C. stejnegeri is significantly longer than that of sanctae- 

 catharinae.

Description. — Adult male, USNM 102606 (type), Maca6, Rio de 

 Janeiro. Vomerine teeth represented only by a more or less roughened 

 ridge; maxillary teeth present; tongue oval, narrow, only one-third as 

 wide as the mouth opening, free in its posterior half; snout flattened, 

 short, extremely broad and rounded when viewed from above, in 

 profile slanting forwards and downwards to the mouth-opening which 

 lies beneath tip of the snout, so that the upper jaw projects scarcely 

 at all beyond the lower; nostrils superior, appearing as minute, round 

 holes on a level with the skin of the snout, their distance from end of 

 snout about one-half that to eye, separated from each other by an
