majority of the males. All the Serra da Bocama specimens, male and 

 female, have the lateral stripe present and agree well in every struc- 

 tural feature, so that it is evident that all belong to the same species in 

 spite of color variations. The dermal fringes on fingers and toes are 

 prominent in one or two individuals, and well developed in the re- 

 mainder. 



The 10 males from Boracea all have the venter fairly heavily mottled 

 with black, and the anterior femoral stripe is not in evidence. The 

 single male from Ibiti has the venter nearly white, and a very distinct 

 antefemoral stripe. A comparison of interorbital width to upper eye- 

 lid shows that this ratio varies greatly even in frogs from the same 

 locality, so that it is valueless as a differentiating character. As the 

 critical body proportions, color, and other characters are similar in 

 lateristrigaia and glabra, the two forms are here considered as synony- 

 mous.
