eye ami from the middle of the upper lip; interorbital space nearly 

 twice as broad as the upper eyelid, scarcely concave ; loreal region 

 slightly concave ; canthus rostralis well-marked ; temporal region 

 very oblique; no distinct tympanum. Habit very stout, limbs 

 short. Fingers and toes short, with slightly swollen tips ; first 

 finger not extending beyond second ; toes one-third webbed ; no 

 subarticular tubercles ; a very large, oval, flat inner metatarsal 

 tubercle. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the axilla in the 

 female, the angle of the mouth in the male ; the tarso-metatarsal 

 articulation reaches the angle of the mouth in the female, the 

 posterior border of the brbit in the male. Sides of body with 

 irregular flat warts ; an oblique dermal ridge, directed outwards 

 and backwards, on each side of the anterior half of the back, some 

 irregular ridges or small scattered tubercles on the posterior half ; 

 a strong dermal ridge from the eye to the shoulder ; upper eyelid 

 with two to four horns, or long conical tubercles ; stellate bony 

 deposits in the skin of the parietal region and of the anterior part 

 of the back ; a transverse fold separates the head from the body ; 

 slight oblique dermal ridges across the limbs ; throat finely gran- 

 ulate, belly nearly smooth. Yellowish, with the back between the 

 dermal ridges purplish grey ; the eyes, the dorsal ridges, and the 

 larger lateral tubercles boi'dered with black, a blackish streak across 

 the interorbital region ; some of the latter tubercles pure white ; 

 limbs purplish grey, hands and feet carneous ; gular region pur- 

 plish black. Male with an internal vocal sac. 



From snout to vent 6| inches. 



Hob. M. Fea obtained several specimens of this frog on the 

 Western slope of the Karennee Mountains, east of Toungugoo, at 

 an altitude of 2500 feet and upwards. The strong jaws of this 

 Batrachian enable it to overpower small mammalia, and a large 

 female opened by M. Fea contained, in addition to a few insects, 

 a small squirrel.

Tongue broadly pyriform, feebly nicked behind. A'omerine teeth 

 in two small, widely separated groups behind the line of the choanae. 

 Head enormous, nearly twice as broad as long, extremely depressed, 

 regularly semicircular in outline ; the length of the snout hardly 

 equals the diameter of the eye ; nostril equally distant from the 

 eye and from the middle of the upper lip, which does not project 

 beyond the lower ; interorbital space twice as broad as the upper 

 eyelid, scarcely concave ; loreal region concave, canthus rostralis 

 feeble; temporal region very oblique; no distinct tympanum. 

 Fingers rather short, first not extending beyond second. Toes 

 short, with a very short web at the base ; no distinct subarticular 

 tubercles ; a very large, oval, flat inner metatarsal tubercle. The
