88 Mr. G. A. Boulenger on the 



conical tubercles below the vent, at the heel, and along the 

 outer edge of the forearm and tarsus. Pale yellowish or 

 reddish brown above, with dark brown markings ; the most 

 conspicuous of these are a cross band between the eyes and a 

 symmetrical marking on the prajsacral part of the back, 

 roughly representing a frog with the four limbs stretched 

 out ; limbs with dark cross bands ; lower parts uniform white. 

 From snout to vent 32 millim. 



10. Ixalus longicruSj sp. n. 



Palawan. Three specimens. 



Closely allied to /. SchmacJcei-i, Bttgr,, from Mindoro. 

 Snout pointed, as long as the diameter of the orbit; canthus 

 rostralis angular ; loreal region concave ; nostril nearer the 

 end of the snout than the eye; interorbital space broader 

 than the upper eyelid ; tympanum distinct, about two fifths 

 the diameter of the eye. Fingers free, disks a little smaller 

 than the tympanum ; toes half-webbed. Tibio-tarsal articu- 

 lation reaching far beyond the tip of the snout ; femoro-tibial 

 articulation reaching the shoulder. Above rough with small 

 warts ; two oblique glandular ridges, converging behind, 

 between the shoulder ; throat smooth ; belly and lower surface 

 of thighs granulate. Grey above, with a large X-shaped 

 dark marking or a pair of ) (-shaped bands on the back, a 

 dark cross band or triangular blotch between the eyes, and 

 regular cross bands on the limbs ; a black light-edged spot 

 on the knee ; a streak below the canthus rostralis, a bar below 

 the eye, and the whole temporal region blackish ; dirty white 

 beneath, throat finely speckled with brown ; a series of small 

 round white spots on the lower lip. Male with internal 

 vocal sacs. 



From snout to vent 21 millim. 



11, Bufo pMUppinicus, Blgr. 



Palawan, Balabac. 



This species was described in 1887 (Ann. & Mag. Nat. 

 Hist. [5] xix. p. 348, pi. x. fig. 5) from a single female 

 specimen obtained by Mr. Everett at Puerto Princesa. 

 Numerous specimens have now been collected. I suspect 

 that the Palawan toad recorded by Mocquard under the name 

 of Biifo divergens, Peters, belongs to this species, which is 

 in some respects intermediate between the latter and B. hi- 

 porcatus^ but differs from both in its thicker cranial ridges 

 and larger parotoids. In some specimens the frontal and 

 parietal ridges form nearly a straight line, as in B. hiporcatus^
