well-developed; a small and rather indistinct inner metatarsal 
tubercle. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the tip of the snout.

back nearly smooth; sides and throat with similar warts, abdomen 
and inner surface of thighs coarsely granular; a glandular fold 
extending from the supercilliary region to above the shoulder, and 
another, somewhat interrupted, from the gape to the same point.

Fic. 4.—Head of Chirtxalus stmus, sp. nov., X 3. 
Type.—No. 17971: Rept. Ind. Mus.: an unique specimen. 
Locality.—Mangaldai, Assam north of the Brahmaputra 
(S. W. Kemp, 6-i-11). 
This species differs from C. doriae,' the only other as yet 
known, in its larger head, truncated snout, smaller tympanum 
and rather longer hind legs, and in possessing a glandular fold 
between the eye and the shoulder. 
C. dortae, which was described from Upper Burma, has 
recently been recorded from the Himalayan foot-hills? immediately 
to the north of Assam. The discovery of a second species near 
the base of the same hills is therefore interesting.
