1868.] Da. .K. GtJNTHER ON NEW BATRACHIANS. 48.3 



Snout rather short, scarcely longer than the diameter of the eye ; 

 canthus rostralis rather obtuse, with the loreal region sloping. The 

 slight vomerine prominences form two short transverse prominences 

 between the choanae, which are very small. Skin nearly smooth or 

 with very small flat smooth tubercles. The length of the body equals 

 the distance between the vent and the metatarsal tubercles. Sub- 

 articular tubercles on the fingers and toes well developed ; metatarsus 

 with two tubercles. Length of the fourth toe two-fifths of that of 

 the body ; third and fifth toes equal in length. 



Greenish olive above, marbled with brownish and sometimes with 

 minute pink dots ; an obsolete dark band across the forehead from 

 one eye to the other, a black band along the canthus rostralis and 

 from the eye to the arm-pit. Limbs with black cross bands. Throat 

 and abdomen whitish, marbled with blackish. 



I have examined two specimens purchased of Mr. Stevens, who 

 states that they came from Chile. They are 33 millims. long, the 

 hind limb being 48, and the fourth toe 14 millims. long. 



Glyphoglossus, g. n. Rhinodermat. 



This genus is closely allied to Cacopus, which it also greatly resem- 

 bles in general appearance, differing, however, in the shape of the 

 tongue and in the structure of the vomer. 



Head very short, crown convex ; mouth transverse, very narrow ; 

 limbs short ; eye small. The space between and behind the inner 

 nostrils is even, without papillae ; one papilla in the median line of 

 the hinder part of the palate. Tongue long, free, and notched 

 behind and in front, divided into two lateral halves by a deep 

 groove. Tympanum hidden ; openings of the eustachian tubes 

 small. Toes broadly webbed ; metatarsus with a large, compressed, 

 cutting, shovel-like prominence. 



Glyphoglossus molosstjs. (Plate XXXVIII. fig. 1.) 



Snout very short, without canthus rostralis. The fleshy part of 

 the lower jaw is swollen, truncated in front, forming a semicircular 

 disk. The whole snout is covered by a leathery finely granular skiu. 

 Body short and thick ; limbs very short ; skin in the loins broad and 

 loose. Pupil of the eye vertical. Skin smooth. There is another, 

 very small tubercle behind the large one on the metatarsus. The 

 web between the toes extends to their extremities. Uniform brown- 

 ish olive above, sides and limbs finely marbled with brown, lower 

 parts whitish. 



A single specimen, 50 millims. long, has been obtained by Mr. 

 Theobald in Pegu. 



BuFO GLABERRiMus. (Plate XXXVII. fig. 2.) 



Body perfectly smooth, with very few slight tubercles on the side. 

 Crown of the head flat, without ridges. Parotoid very distinct, 

 ovate, its length being equal to its distance from that on the other 

 side. Snout angular, the canthus rostralis being distinct. The
