second ftud fourth ; disks about the same size as the 

 tympanum ; toes entirely webbed ; subarticular tubercles well 

 developed. The hind limb being carried forward, the tibio- 

 tarsal articulation reaches just beyond the eye. Upper 

 surfaces of body and head very minutely granulate; belly 

 and lower surfaces of thighs coarsely granulate. Throat 

 covered with scattered warts ; a series of similar warts along 

 the margin of the lower jaw. A well developed denticulated 

 fringe along the outer side of the forearm and the outer (inger ; 

 a similar fringe along the outer side of the tarsus and the outer 

 toe. Heel with a triangular dermal appendage ; some smaller 

 dermal flaps near the vent. Colour (in spirit) dark plum 

 above, uniform, with the exception of some very indistinct 

 cross-bands on the hind legs ; light below. The largest 

 sprcimen measures 67 millim. from snout to vent. 



Two specimens from Sattelberg. 



With regard to the great development of the web between 

 the fingers, this species resembles Uyla (/ract'lenta, Ptrs., but 

 differs from it in so many characteristics that there can 

 hardly be any close relationship between them. 



IJi/Ia dvlichopsiSj Cope. 



A large specimen from Sattelberg, and a young fro;n 

 which the following notes are taken : — 



The vomerine teeth being wanting, this little frog might 

 be classed as belonging to the genus Hylella. 



Tongue almost round, nicked and free behind. Head 

 longer than broad. Snout longer than the eye ; canthus ros- 

 tralis indistinct, rounded ; loreal region concave. Interorbital 

 space much broader than the upper eyelid. Tympanum dis- 

 tinct, two thirds the diameter of the eye. Fingers webbed at 

 the base; toes nearly entirely webbed. Disks smaller than 

 the tympanum. The hind limb being carried forward, the 

 tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the tip of snout. Upper sur- 

 face of head granulate ; back and upper surface of fore legs 

 also granulate, but less coarsely ; a fold over the tympanum. 

 Belly coarsely granulate; lower surface of thighs less so. 

 Colour (in spirit) dark bluish brown, light below ; a wiiite 

 stieak along the margin of the lower jaw to the axilla; a less 

 distinct similar streak along the outer side of the tarsus. 



IJyJa obsoleta, sp. n. 



The most striking characteristic of this form is that the 

 tympanum is completely covered by the granular skin, so that 

 no trace of it can be seen outwardly.
