forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches a little 

 beyond the tip of the snout. Skiii smooth above; a slightly pro- 

 minent spur on the heel. Colour above bright chestnut-brown, 

 below pale violet ; no marks on the head or back ; sides of body, 

 front and back of thighs, and intero-anterior face of femur with 

 vertical black bands ; upper surface of hind limbs with faint cross 

 bars. From snout to vent 56 niillim. 



Distinguished from E. crepitans by its acuminate snout, larger 

 eye, and anterior femoral bands.

Tongue circular, slightly nicked behind, nearly entirely adherent. 

 Vomerine teeth between the rather large choange, in two oblique 

 series forming a chevron, the point of which is turned forwards. 

 Head depressed, broader than long ; snout rounded, a little longer 

 than the diameter of the orbit ; can thus rostralis moderately distinct ; 

 loreal region concave ; interorbital space broader than the upper 

 eyelid ; tym])annm nearly two thirds the diameter of the eye. Three 

 outer fingers half webbed ; a distinct rudiment of pollex ; toes nearly 

 entirely webbed : disks smaller than the tympanum ; subarticular 

 tubercles moderate. The hind limb being carried forwards along 

 the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches tJie tip of the snout. 

 Skin of head and back with scattered tubercles ; lower surfaces 

 granulate ; a slight fold along the outer edge of forearm and tarsus. 

 Brownish above, doited and marbled with darker ; limbs more or 

 less distinctly cross-barred ; more or less distinct vertical dark bars 

 on the sides of the body and sometimes on the sides of the thighs 

 (the unique specimen at my disposal does not show any on the latter

12. Hyla inframaculata. (Plate XXIII. fig. 3.) 



Tongue circular, entire, adherent. Vomerine teeth on a level 

 with the hinder edge of the rather large choanae, in two slightly 

 curved series, forming together an arch the convexity of which is 

 turned forwards. Head moderate, depressed, a little broader than 

 long ; snout rounded, as long as the diameter of the orbit ; canthus 

 rostralis very indistinct ; loreal region slightly concave ; interorbital 

 space as broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum verj' distinct, two 

 thirds the diameter of the eye. Three outer fingers nearly two- 

 thirds webbed ; no prominent rudiment of pollex ; toes entirely
