15. Rana modesta. (Praze I. fig. 3.) 
Vomerine teeth in two oblique oval groups commencing on a 
level with the hinder edge of the choane ; lower jaw with two gene- 
rally strong bony prominences in front, directed backwards. Head 
moderate ; snout short, rather pointed ; interorbital space nearly as 
broad as the upper eyelid; tympanum distinct, not quite two thirds 
the size of the eye. Fingers moderate, first extending much be- 
yond second; toes moderate, entirely webbed; cutaneous fringe 
along the outer side of the fifth toe slightly developed ; tips of toes 
dilated into small disks ; subarticular tubercles of fingers and toes 
moderate ; inner metatarsal tubercle small, oval ; no outer tubercle. 
The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tibio- 
tarsal articulation reaches a little beyond the eye. Skin of the back 
with rather indistinct short longitudinal glandular folds ; upper eye- 
lids tubercular; a more or less distinct fold of the skin between the 
latter; a strong fold above the tympanum. Brown above, indis- 
tinctly spotted ; sometimes two lighter vittz on the back and the 
canthi rostrales, meeting on the tip of the snout ; sometimes a light 
dorsal stripe; hinder side of: thighs dark brown, white-marbled ; 
beneath more or less speckled with brown. Male with two small 
internal vocal sacs. From snout to vent 7 centim. 
This new species is allied to R. tigrina and R. macrodon. It 
differs from both by the much smaller size and the arrangement of 
the vomerine teeth ; from the former chiefly by a broader interor- 
bital space and smaller tympanum, longer fingers, slightly developed 
vocal sacs, &c.; from the latter by a smaller head, generally a nar- 
rower interorbital space, and the presence of vocal sacs.
