Page 89. Leptopelis aubrjri. 



This species has been described by Smith (III. S. Afr. Eept. App. 

 p. 25) under the name of Poh/pedates natalensis. This denomination 

 having the priority, Leptopelis auhryi should be altered to 



Leptopelis natalensis. 



In several collections this s^^ecies bears the name of Eucnemis 

 bucephalus, which was never published with a proper diagnosis. 

 There is generally a brown streak from the muzzle along the canthus 

 rostraHs through the eye and tympanum to the side of the body. 



All the specimens in the British Museum Collection certainly 

 belong to one and the same species, but in two or three of them the 

 web between the fingers is indistinct, and that between the toes 

 shorter. In all other respects they are so similar to Hylamhates 

 marmoratus (Dum. Ann. Sc. Nat. 1854, p. 162), as to lead me to be- 

 lieve that this frog also should l)e referred to Poh/pedates natalensis 

 of Smith.
