It may be worthwhile to record that there are two topotypes of 
this species from Lake Baikal, in the Museum of Comparative 
Zoology (M. C. Z., no. 1288).

Habit very similar to B. himalayanus (Giinther) and B. melanostictus 
Schneider. It differs markedly from the former in the smoother crown, 
in that the warts on the upper surfaces of the body, and especially on the 
legs, are much smaller, more scattered, and subequal. It differs conspicu- 
ously from the second mentioned species in the absence of the cephalic 
ridges. 
Crown deeply concave, smooth; ridges between eye and nostril very 
weak; snout short and blunt; interorbital space much wider than upper 
eyelid; tympanum small, vertically oval, partially covered by a fold of 
skin. First finger a very little longer than second; a small inner and an 
outer palmar tubercle, which is nearly three times as large as the inner one; 
subarticular tubercles single, rather prominent. There are many other 
tubercles on palm and digits. The hind limb being carried forward, the 
tarso-metatarsal articulation reaches beyond the tip of the snout; toes less 
than half webbed, the webs with their outer edges denticulate; small, 
single, subarticular tubercles on all but fourth toe, where they are double; 
two subequal metatarsal tubercles, the inner the more prominent; lower 
surfaces of feet richly tuberculate like the hands. A slightly developed 
tarsal fold, more conspicuous in the male than in the female. Upper sur- 
faces with subequal warts well separated by areas of smooth skin; in the 
female specimen the warts show a tendency toward spinosity. The paro- 
toid glands are large, suboval, or tending toward kidney shape. I do not 
find an internal vocal sac in the male; in this particular especially is the 
tendency toward B. himalayanus. In the specimen of this sex nuptial 
asperities are present on the first and second finger. 
Color (in aleohol) dark brown above, lighter below; a blackish band 
begins at posterior border of eye, covers the lower half of the parotoid gland,
