specimens of Rana woodworthi sp. 



Specimens from Polillo Island agree very well in general 

 contour and markings. The eyelids, however, are a litue 

 narrower, practically equaling the interorbital distance; the first 

 finger is slightly longer proportionally, reaching beyond the 

 penultimate subarticular tubercle on the third finger. 



In my previous works on Philippine Amphibia* I confused 

 this species with Rana leytensis which apparently does not 

 occur in Polillo. , . , 



Remarks.-The frogs of the Rana tigrina group which occur 

 throughout southern Asia and in the ^*^™*l?£ 

 difficult to differentiate than are those belonging to th >R. macro- 

 don group. It has been the custom of most «^£5hS 

 least when dealing with Philippine specimens, to lump together 

 under the name of R. maorodon all species having the enlarged 

 bony prominences in the lower jaw. . 



Stejneger ■ described the large Philippine frog ^occurring g^n 

 erally over the Islands (listing Mindanao, ^^££ The 

 Luzon) under the name Rami magna He difl «™J B 

 form from R. macrodon Dumeril and Bibron but doe s no^nen 

 tion the relationship with R. modesta Boulenger which was de- 

 scribed from Celebes by Boulenger. 8
