 By G. A. BouLENGER, F.R.S. 



In a previous number of these ' Annals ' * I have described 

 three new reptiles from Mr. M. G. Palmer''s collection in 

 South-western Colombia under the names of Lepidoblejjharis 

 peracccB, Anolis palmeri, and Atractus melas. 1 am now able 

 to add three batrachians and six reptiles to the list of the 

 discoveries of this successful collector. 



Hyla palmeri. 



Tongue circular, nearly entirely adherent. Vomerine teeth 

 in two curved transverse series close togetiier just behind the 

 level of the rather large choanae. Head rather small, a little 

 broader than long; snout short, rounded, not projecting 

 beyond the mouth ; canthus rostralis obtuse ; loreal region 

 very oblique, concave; interorbital region much broader than 

 the upper eyelid ; tympanum distinct, half the diameter of 

 the eye. Outer fingers nearly half-webbed ; no rudiment of 

 pollex ; toes entirely webbed ; disks as large as the tympanum ; 

 subarticular tubercles small. The tibio-tarsal articulation 

 reaches the eye. Skin granulate, more coarsely on the belly 

 and under the thighs; a curved fold from the eye to the 

 shoulder, covering the upper third of the tympanum ; a 

 sinuous transverse fold above the vent ; a fold along the 

 outer side of the arm and of the tarsus ; an obtusely pointed 

 dermal flap at theJieel. Yellowish, with small black spots or 

 dots on the head and anterior part of the body. 



From snout to vent 43 mm. 



Two specimens, female and young, from Jimenez. 



Leptodactylus mantipus. 



Tongue oval, entire. Vomerine teeth in two slightly 

 arched series behind the choange. Snout rounded, as long as 

 the orbit, not projecting beyond the mouth, with well-marked 

 canthus and oblique, concave loreal region ; nostril nearer 

 the tip of the snout tlian the eye ; interorbital space broader 

 than the upper eyelid ; tympanum three-fifths the diameter 

 of the eye. Fingers rather short, with feebly swollen tips, 

 first and second equal ; toes moderate, not fringed, the tips 

 dilated into small but very distinct disks ; subarticular
