have well developed discs, and possess a prominent nuliment of 

 a gill membrane on each side of the neck. The color is pale 

 yellow, more or less speckled with light reddish brown, the 

 punctulations often grouped to form cross bars on the femora 

 and, occasionally, irregular blotches on the body. As stated by 

 Peracca the eggs are glued to the back of the nurse frog by a 

 gelatinous substance. On the sides of the body of the nurse 

 the skin forms a fold against which lie the outermost eggs, but 

 this fold is not reflexed to form even a rudimentary pouch. 



In captivity one of the adults fed freely upon individuals 

 of the small frog Prostherapis snbpuuctatus Cope.
