Differs from the preceding species in the following points :—Snout 
acutely pointed; toes with a distinct rudiment of web; metatarsal 
tubercle large, shovel-shaped ; subarticular tubercles more or less 
distinct. Brownish or olive above, marbled with blackish; sides 
sometimes spotted with white; sometimes a light vertebral line.

The following genera probably belong to this family ; but as the 
sternal structure has not been described, I cannot refer them to their 
proper place :— 
XENORHINA, Peters, Mon. Berl. Ac. 1863, p. 82. 
“ Habit of Engystoma; toes free, with distinct disks ; fingers 
free, without disks ; jaws and palate toothless ; tongue broad, heart- 
shaped, adherent everywhere except a little in front; end of snout 
warty, nostrils lateral, at the tip of the snout; tympanum distinct ; 
no parotoids. Palmar and plantar surfaces smooth, without tu- 
bercles. Diapophyses of sacral vertebra dilated.” 
X. oxycephala, Peters, 1. c. (Bombinator oxycephalus, Schlegel, 
Handl. Dierk. ii. p. 58, t. iv. f. 74).—New Guinea. 
ADENOMERA (Fitz.), Steindachn. Novara, Amph. p. 37. 
“Head rather small, indistinct from the body; snout distinct, 
pointed ; fingers and toes free; tongue narrow, elongate, entire ; 
tympanum distinct; a large, flat gland on the loins; prominence of 
the first cuneiform bone elongate, pointed, small; no vomerine nor 
maxillary teeth; diapophyses of the sacral vertebra weak, triangular.” 
A, marmorata (Fitz.), Steindachn, 1. e.—Brazil. 
4, DYSCOPHIDA. 
Upper jaw toothed; diapophyses of sacral vertebra dilated. 
The characters of this family are the same as those of the pre- 
ceding, except that the upper jaw is furnished with teeth. Calluella 
may be considered a toothed Hypopachus, and Cophyla a toothed 
Callula. The precoracoids are either very weak, not taking any 
share in the formation of the glenoid cavity, or absent. ‘There is 
no fronto-parietal fontanelle. The pupil is erect.
