Variation. — A second individual (Cat. No. 34782, U.S.N.M.) from 

 the same locality agrees with the above in all essential structural char- 

 acters. It differs in color, however, in so far as the entire dorsal 

 surface is of the same pale color as the prefrontal area, so that the 

 sides are marked by a very broad dark brown band from the nostrils 

 backward. The transverse dark frontal band coirsequentl}- also stands 

 out in strong contrast. 



Bemarhs. — In some respects this new species resembles Ixalus 

 leitenftifi of Boulenger, with which it is probablj^ most nearly related. 

 It differs in manv points, however, especiall}- in the long, acuminate, 

 and projecting snout and the lesser extent of the webbing of the toes. 

 The color is also different in many essentials.
