upon the head, the whole baek. ami the up])er surface <jf the legs with many 

 small flattened tubercles, each of which is provided with a hard, horny point, 

 dark in color. Skin of under surface smooth except for the characteristic 

 horny tubercles in the pectoral retjion <'haracteristic of the male Telmatobius, 

 in the brcedinp; season. Color above brown, a darker band extending from

 journey east of Taena, Chile (Meyen). 



Remarks. It is hi<:;hly probable that T. pcruvianus is a land-frog 

 with habits similar to those of T. acmariciis, for IMeyen says in his 

 account of finding the type: — 



" Unser Nachtlager schlugen wir einer natUrlichen Hohle des dicht 

 daneben anstehenden Gesteines auf;...gegen Abend liess sich das 

 Quaken eines Frosches horen." (Reise um die erde, 1834, p. 450). 



Telmatobius pustulosus (Cope).

 Telmatobius pustulosus Boulenger, Cat. Batr. Sal. Brit, mus., 1882, p. 192. 



Diagnosis. A rather large species, the skin not especially loose but with 

 tubercles present on sides, belly, lower side of forearm, vent region, and lower 

 back and upper surface of tibia and sole of foot; vomerine teeth barely visible; 

 no distinct color-pattern.
