 them; tongue large, rounded behind, extensively free (about one- 

 half) behind and on sides; snout somewhat acuminate, projecting; 

 nostrils much nearer tip of snout than eyes; distance from tip of

 twice as wide as upper eyelid; can thus rostralis rounded; lores con- 

 cave; tympanum rather distinct, its diameter about one-half that of 

 the eye; fingers free, club-shaped, first very much shorter than sec-

Reinarl:s. — Another specimen, very nuich smaller, and apparently 

 just through its transformation was collected by Doctor Mearns at 

 Todaya, Mount Apo, Mindanao, about 4,000 feet altitude, during 

 the early part of July, 1904. As far as can be made out it agrees

The color pattern of Pkrynixalus anulatus, although somewhat 

 obscure on account of the dark ground color, is essentially that of 

 Oreophryne celebensis. The toes of the latter are described by Bou-
