a. Andes of Ecuador. From Mr. Eraser's Collection. 



I found a single specimen of this beautiful species in a small col- 

 lection of Batrachians sent by Mr. Eraser from Guayaquil. The 

 specimen appears to be a half- grown individual, with the eoloors 

 pretty weU preserved, but otherwise not in the best condition. No 

 cutaneous folds or appendages are visible, either of the front or of 

 the hinder extremities. The muzzle is flat, obtuse, rounded ; the 

 tjTupanum rather more than half the width of the eye ; the fourth 

 finger is much longer than the second ; the third and fifth toes are 

 equal in length ; at the base of the first finger a nxdiment of a thumb 

 is visible. Length of the body li" ; length of the front extremity 

 not quite |-" ; length of the posterior extremity 1|-".
