Two specimens, Junk River (Stampfli). 



One of the specimens, a very adult male with beautifully 

 developed shoulder-glands, is much larger than the adult 

 male of which Dobson , 1. c. p. 11 , gives measurements: 

 the forearm of Dobson's male measures 3.4 inches, mean- 

 while it measures fully 4 inches in my specimen :

 Sala); Junk- and Du Queah River (Biittikofer and Stampfli). 



Auf dem Begrabnissplatz von Robertsport fand ich einen 

 Baum von dem einige Aeste mit ganzen Trauben dieser Art 

 behangt waren. 



Dobson's (1. c. p. 12) description of the peculiar palate- 

 ridges is very correct, but the figure (I.e. plate II, fig. 4) 

 is less good: as Dobson mentions in the text, there are 

 only two undivided palate-ridges and not three (see the 

 figure with a ridge between the second premolars) and there 

 are five or six pairs of small oval elevations , not three pairs 

 (see Dobson's figure). 



The skeleton presents 7 cervicales , 1 3 costales and 5 

 lum bares.
