a very extensible membrane ; a cylindrical tubercle at the metatarsus, 
very much like the rudiment of a sixth toe. Above greenish or 
greenish-brown, uniform or spotted with darker; belly with dark 
specks. Size of Bombinator igneus. 
Hab. Kulu and Simla, Himalaya (2400-4200 feet above the level 
of the sea). : 
Description.—In habit and size somewhat similar to Bombinator 
igneus, but with the snout more pointed. The skin is in some spe- 
cimens warty, in others smooth. The tympanum is rather indistinct, 
and not quite of the size of the eye. The inner nostrils are small 
and rather distant from each other, the openings of the eustachian 
tubes larger. The extremities are of moderate length ; the fingers 
quite free: the third is the longest ; the first is very little longer 
than the second and fourth, which are equal in length. The struc- 
ture of the hind foot is similar to that in Oxyglossus ; but the tubercle 
of the metatarsus is very much like a rudiment of a sixth toe. The 
fourth toe is one-fourth longer than the fifth. The species varies con- 
siderably in coloration, and the most constant characters appear to 
be brownish specks on all or some of the lower parts, and a brownish 
_ streak on the hinder side of the thigh.
