I. BATRACHIA. 
ECAUDATA. 
PHYLLOBATES TRINITATIS Garman. 
Garman's orig-inai description ' tits the two specimens from Venez- 
uela and contains nothing by which I can separate them. In the speci- 
mens before me the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches to the anterior 
border of the orbit; first finger is shorter than second; there is a large 
metacarpal pad, and two metatarsal tubercles, the inner one being 
almost as long as the diameter of the largest digital disk, though 
narrower; on the lower half of the tarsus a very distinct fold, which 
is a continuation of the lateral narrow fringe of the inner toe, extend- 
ing from the base of the latter obliquely across the underside of the 
tarsus to the median line. The blackish lateral band is very broad 
between shoulder and groin, and semidivided lengthwise by a whitish 
line extending forward somewhat obliquely from the groin; a blackish 
longitudinal streak on anterior face of upper arm. The dusky band 
across the chest is not well marked in No, 27808. 
With the latter there are 11 tadpoles, which adhered to its l)ack 
when caught.
