parts, with irregular, depressed, distinctly porous warts ; parotoids 
moderate, kidney-shaped ; a parotoid-like gland on the calf. Olive

Ladak. 
This new species, which I have the pleasure of naming after my 
friend M. Fernand Lataste, is closely allied to both B. calamita and 
B.vraddw. From the former it differs chiefly in the great distinct- 
ness of the tympanum and the extensive web between the toes ; 
from B. raddi in the latter character and in the double subarticular 
tubercles of the toes.
