 Chorophilus ocularis, Co^je, Check-list N.-Avier. Rept. p. 30. 



Tongue circular, entire. Vomerine teeth in two slightly oblique 

 oval groups behind the level of the choana3. Head slightly longer 

 than broad ; snout rounded, as long as the diameter of the orbit ; 

 canthus rostralis rather indistinct ; interorbital space as broad as 

 the upper eyelid ; tympanum somewhat more than half the diameter 

 of the eye. Fingers and toes moderate, the tips very indistinctly 

 dilated ; first finger shorter than second ; toes with a slight rudiment 

 of web ; subarticular tubercles small ; no outer metatarsal tubercle.

 tarsal articulation marks the tympanum. Skin smooth above, 

 granulate on the belly. Olive above ; sides with three black spots, 

 viz. a streak from the eye to the shoulder, an oval spot in the middle 

 of the side, and one or two smaller ones on the loin.

Mr. Cope considers this Frog specifically distinct from C. ornatus, 

 and identifies it with Hijla ocularis of Daudin. The latter opinion I 

 cannot share, as nothing in the French author's description and 

 figure indicates the least analogy with this form. The toes are 

 represented as half webbed in H. ocularis, and the digital expansions 

 of G. copii are so slight that they would certainly have escaped 

 Daudin's observation. Moreover the colour is quite' different. 



5. Chorophilus cuzcaiius. 



Choruphilus cuzcamis, Cape, Froc. Amcr. PJiilos. Soc. xvii. 1877,

 borders projecting a little behind the posterior margins of the latter. 

 Head wide, flat ; snout obtusely rounded, a little longer than the 

 diameter of the eye ; canthus rostralis well marked but contracted ; 

 tympanum half the diameter of the eye. The hind limb being 

 carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches 

 the front of the orbit. Skin smooth above, granulate beneath. 

 Upper surfaces dark olive, limbs paler ; sides of the head to the 

 tympanum dark, bordered above by a blackish line along the canthus 

 rostralis, and below by a light labial border ; beneath whitish.
