flat; tympanum vertically oval, 2 / 5 to 3 / 4 the diameter of the eye. 

 Tips of fingers and toes hardly dilated; first finger extending 

 beyond second; toes slightly webbed; subarticular tubercles 

 much developed; an oblong inner and a very indistinct, rounded 

 outer metatarsal tubercle; the heel reaches the anterior border 

 of the eye (the tip of the snout in the young). 



Posterior part of back granulate, otherwise smooth, or with 

 rather sharp longitudinal folds, above ; a narrow dorsolateral 

 fold, extending backwards to the sacral region ; a fold above 

 the tympanum; sides, belly and lower and posterior surfaces 

 of thighs granulate. 



Yellowish, greyish, brown or greyish violet above, marbled 

 with brown; a brown cross-bar between the eyes; loreal and 

 temporal regions black, with a light border above; upper lip 

 red; limbs and sides of body reddish, the limbs with dark 

 cross-bars; throat, breast and lower surface of limbs powdered 

 and spotted with brown. Length 75 mm. 



Habitat: Bismarck archipelago. 



16. Rana moszkowskii (Vogt). 



Comufcr moszkowskii Vogt, Sitzungsber. Ges. naturf. Fr., Berlin, 1912, p. 358. 



Vomerine teeth in two widely separated transverse groups 

 behind the choanae; snout rather pointed; canthus rostralis 

 strong; loreal region concave; nostril nearer to the tip of the 

 snout than to the eye ; interorbital space somewhat broader than 

 the upper eyelid ; tympanum vertically elliptic, 2 / 3 the width 

 of the eye. Fingers and toes with dilated tips; first finger 

 longer than second; toes free; subarticular tubercles small; a 

 cylindrical inner, and a small, round outer metatarsal tubercle; 

 the heel reaches a little beyond the eye. 



Granulate above, with sharp, short, longitudinal ridges; a sharp 

 fold above the tympanum ; upper eyelid warty; smooth beneath. 



Dark above; upper surface of snout light coloured; two 

 reddish white dorsolateral streaks ; lips spotted ; limbs with 

 indistinct bars; yellowish beneath, chin and throat dark spotted. 

 Length 56 mm. 



Probably identical with R. rugata or boalengeri. It can perhaps 

 be distinguished from rugata by the broader interorbital space, 

 from boidengeri, as Mr. Vogt informs me, by less developed 

 subarticular tubercles. 



Habitat: interior of Dutch New Guinea.
