Remarhs. — The type of this species is the only specimen brought 

 home by the expedition, and as it has thus far escaped all earlier col- 

 lectors in Cuba, it is apparently quite rare or very local in its distri- 

 bution. The label indicates that it was captured in a mountain stream. 



This new toad is so distinct in every way that it recpiires no com- 

 parison with any of the muuerous species conn)osing- the o-enus Bufo. 

 It has no relatives in the other Antilles or in North America.
