Two new Frog a from Brazil. \2'i 



Leptodacti/lus pumilio, sp. n. 



Tonoue oval, entire. Vomerine teetli in short tranfivers-? 

 series close together behind the level of the choanee. Ileal 

 as long as broad ; snout roundod, scarcely projecting beyond 

 the lower jaw, a little longer than the eye j canthus rostralis 

 obtuse ; loreal region very oblique, concave ; nostril ne;>rer 

 the tip of the snout than the eye; interorbital space much 

 broader than the upper eyelid; tympanum hidden. Fingers 

 with swollen tips, first a little shorter than second, which is 

 one-half the length of third ; subarticular tubercles strong. 

 Toes with the tips dilated into small discs, which are longer 

 than broad ; no dermal border ; subarticular tubercles mode- 

 rately large, moderately prominent; two small, feebly promi- 

 nent metatarsal tubercles. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches 

 the eye ; tibia half the lengtii of head and body, as long- 

 as the foot. Skin smooth, shiny. Dark brown above, with

In the dilated tips of the toes this small frog is related to 

 L. hjhedactyluSy Cope, L. discodacti/lus, Blgr., L. pulcher, 

 Blgr., and L. maniipiis, Blgr., but differs from all of them in 

 the hidden tympanum. 



Hyla hillij sp. n. 



Tongue round, entire and slightly free behind. Vomerine 

 teeth in short U-shaped series on round bases, close together 

 between the rather small choanae. Head small, a little 

 broader than long, feebly depressed ; sjiout rounded, scarcely 

 projecting beyond the mouth, as long as the orbit ; no canthus 

 lostralis; loreal region feebly oblique, slightly concave; 

 nostril nearer the tip of the snout than the eye, which is 

 rather small ; interorbital space as broad as the upper eyelid ; 

 tympanum very distinct, ^ the diameter of the eye. Fingers 

 rather short, ^-webbed, the discs moderately large, a little 

 smaller than the tympanum ; no distinct rudiment of pollex. 

 Toes rather short, entirely webbed, the discs nearly as large 

 as those of the fingers. The tibio-tarsal aticulation reaches 

 the shoulder; lieols overlapping when the limbs are fulled at 

 right angles to the body; tibia a little less than ^ the length 

 of head and body. Skin smooth above, with a few very small 

 warts on the head ; large flat granules on the throat, on the 

 belly, and on the proximal half of the lower surface of the
