enger has kindly examined a specimen and has expressed the 

 opinion that the form is alhed to H. alboguttata Boulenger. 

 The writer has not been able to examine a specimen of H. 

 alboguttata, but the specimens here described certainly have

Habits: The adults were all taken in the lowland forest

H\la boans Daudin. — Five specimens. The species was 

 found in the forest on the bank of the river. The ground

 ground color was buffy brown on the back and fore legs, the 

 hind legs dark olive buff, the head deep olive, and the dark 

 markings olive brown and clove brown.

 was not found elsewhere. 



Hyla rubra Daudin. — Numerous specimens from the clear-
