concave ; nostril nearer to the tip of the snout than to the eye ; 

 interorbital space as broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum 

 distinct, nearly as large as the eye. Fingers and toes with 

 small, but distinct disks; first finger extending beyond second, 

 which is shorter than fourth; toes nearly entirely webbed, the 

 web reaching all disks, except that of fourth toe, two phalanges 

 of which are free; subarticular tubercles well developed; an 

 oval inner, and a not much smaller round outer metatarsal 

 tubercle ; no tarsal fold ; the heel reaches the nostril ; tibia 

 more than '/. 2 length of head and body. 



Finely granulate above, with or without large warts on the 

 back ; a broad dorsolateral fold ; lower parts smooth. 



Brown above ; the warts, dorsolateral folds, loreal and

BoULENGER (Cat. Batr. Sal. Brit. Mus., 1882, p. 70, and Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. London, 1897, p. 232) describes as R. celebetisis a 

 specimen of unknown origin, which has the first finger not 

 extending beyond the second one and shows some other diffe- 

 rences with the above description. It is thus uncertain, if it 

 belongs to the same species. It is a male, with internal vocal 

 sacs and an oval flat gland on the inner side of the arm. 



Habitat: Celebes (Menado ! ; Gorontalo?!; Gurupahi !).
