In some respects it seems to come closest to O. ja<j<wi{ of Peters, 

 from Samar Island. It differs from it in many important respects. 

 The disks of lingers and toes appear to be larg-er, those of the 

 fingers being particularly large, though not quite so large as in 

 C. dorsalls from Fiji; the we])bing between the toes is also more 

 extended, being fully as large as in the latter species; the hind legs 

 are also shorter, and the skin of the upper parts is smooth, though 

 whether there are longitudinal glandular folds on the back can not l)e 

 decided on account of the condition of the specimen. 



The coloration seems also to be characteristic, since no mention of 

 the distinct frontal cross band is mentioned in the description of any 

 other species of this genus. 



PHILAUTUS" WOODI,'' new species. 



Dtagnos)!^. — Fingers free; toes webbed at base only; tibio-tarsal 

 articulation reaching beyond tip of snout; snout pointed, conical, pro- 

 jecting, longer than diameter of eye; skin shagreened above, coarsely 

 granular below, even including the under surface of limbs and feet; 

 tympanum scarcely distinguishable; a strong glandular fold from 63^6 

 to shoulder; no dorso-lateral fold; disks of digits large. 



Halntat. — Mindanao, Philippine Islands. 



Il/i^e.— Cat.No. 34781, U.S.N.M.; Mount Apo, 6,000 feet altitude, 

 Mindanao; June 30, 1904; Dr. E. A. Mearns, coll. 



Description of type specimen. — Snout longer than diameter of e^^e, 

 with a pointed conical projection forming a distinct "nose;" nostrils 

 located nearer the tip of the snout than the eye; canthus rostralis 

 sharp; lores very concave, the concavity continued forward beyond 

 the nostrils; interorbital space wider than upper eyelid; tympanum 

 scarcely distinguishable, apparently not larger than half the diameter of 

 the eye; fingers free, first considerabh" shorter than second, which is 

 to the same extent shorter than fourth; disks of fingers rounded, 

 large, especially those of third and fourth fingers; toes webbed at base 

 onh" disks well developed, about the size of those of second finger; 

 subarticular tubercles well developed; a small oval inner metatarsal 

 tubercle, no outer; no tarsal fold; hind legs being carried forward 

 along the body, the til)io-tarsal articulation reaches a considera))le 

 distance beyond the tip of the snout; skin finely shagreened above, 

 coarsely granular on the entire lower surface, including the throat, 

 underside of limbs, and even the hands and feet; a strong glandular 



'I Philautus Gistel, Naturg. Thierr., 1848, p. x, must take the place of Ixalus 

 Dnmeril and Bibron, 1841, which is preoccupied by Ogilby, 1836, for a genus of 

 mammals.
