with dark dots ; coloured parts of limbs with dark cross lines ; 
a white streak on each side, from the nostril along the outer 
edge of the upper eyelid to the groin; arm, the three inner 
fingers, and the four inner toes not coloured. From snout to 
vent 31 rmillim. 
A single young specimen from Malabar, collected by Col. 
Beddome*. 
Rappta Burtonti, sp. n. 
Snout rounded, as long as the orbital diameter; tympanum 
hidden. Fingers half webbed; toes three-fourths webbed. 
The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tibio- 
tarsal articulation reaches between the eye and the tip of 
_the snout. Skin smooth, granular on the belly; no fold 
across the chest. Upper surfaces and throat purplish grey ; 
hands and feet (the disks excepted), sides and lower surface 
of hind limbs, a streak from nostril to eye, and marblings on 
the side of the body and behind the eye carmine ; belly flesh- 
coloured; throat and belly with blackish spots. From snout 
to vent 27 millim. 
Allied to &. lagoensis, Gthr.; but in that species the web 
reaches the disks of all the toes except the fourth, and the 
head is comparatively rather broader. In coloration the two 
species are extremely different. 
A single female specimen was collected on the Ancober 
river, Gold Coast, and presented to the British Museum by 
Major Burton and Captain Cameron. 
Bufo Andersoni, sp. n. 
Crown without bony ridges; snout short, blunt; inter- 
orbital space flat, a little broader than the upper eyelid; 
tympanum very distinct, round, two thirds the diameter 
of the eye. Ifirst finger extending as far as or slightly 
beyond second; toes two-thirds or half webbed, with simple. 
subarticular tubercles; two moderate metatarsal tubercles ; 
a tarsal fold. The hind limb being carried forwards along 
the body, the tarso-metatarsal articulation reaches between 
the shoulder and the eye. Upper parts with irregular flat 
warts ; parotoids large, elliptic, flat; brownish or olive-grey 
above, spotted or marbled with darker; beneath immaculate. 
Male with a subgular vocal sac. Size of B. viridis. 
* Mentioning Colonel Beddome’s important discoveries in Malabar, I 
must rectify a misprint which has occurred in the diagnosis of Nanno- 
batrachus Beddomi in the ‘ Catalogue of Batrachia Kcaudata,’ p. 470. 
For “interorbital space narrower than the upper eyelid,” read “ upper 
eyelid narrower than the interorbital space.” fag
