1. OXTGLOSSCS L^TIS, Gthr. 



12 specimens : Masarang, Kakas, Matinang Mts., Lembongpangi, 

 1700 feet, Takalekadjo Mts., 3300 feet. 



Adult and larval specimens were collected by Mr. Everett in 

 Southern Celebes, at an altitude of 2000 feet. 



The largest specimen measures 42 millim. from snout to vent. 

 The toes may be fully webbed, with rectilinear membrane, or the 

 web may be deeply emarginate, as described by Peters in 0. mar- 

 tensii from Siam, which I am now very much inclined to think is 

 based on an indi\idual variation of 0. lams. 



The habitat of this Frog would thus extend from Burma and 

 Siam to Sumatra, Borneo, the Philippines, and Celebes. 



I am able to append a description of the tadpole, from specimens 

 collected by Mr. Everett in Southern Celebes : — 



Length of body once and a half to once and two-thirds its 

 width, two-fifths the length of the tail. Nostrils nearer the eyes 

 than the end of the snout. Eyes on the upper surface, nearer the 

 end of the snout than the spiraculum, the distance between them 

 twice as great as the distance between the nostrils. Spiraculum 

 on the left side, directed upwards and backw ards, equally distant 

 from the eye and the posterior extremity of the body. Anal 

 opening median. Tail four or five times as long as deep, acutely 

 pointed, with low crests. Mouth small, with horseshoe-shaped 

 lip without horny teeth, the closed mouth appeai'ing as a vertical 

 slit ; beak black. Olive aboAe, white beneath ; tail speckled with 

 dark brown. 



Total length 51 millim. ; body 14 ; tail 37 ; depth of tail 7. 



2. Eana kuhlii, D. & B. 



Minahassa {Meyer). A specimen, labelled as from Celebes, 

 presented by Sir A. Smith, is in the British Museum. 



3. Eana modesta, Blgr. 



Vomerine teeth in two strong oblique series, originating between 

 the choanae or on a leA el with their posterior border and extending 

 posteriorly to or beyond the palatines ; lower jaw, in the adult, 

 with two bony prominences in front, which are most developed 

 in the male. Head moderate ; snout short, rounded or rather 

 pointed ; canthus rostralis angular ; loreal region concave ; nostril 

 nearer the tip of the snout than the eye ; iuterorbital space nearly 

 as broad as the upper eyelid in the adult, narrower in the 

 young; tympanum distinct, two-fifths to two-thirds the diameter 

 of the eye. Fingers moderate, the tips swollen into small disks, 

 first extending beyond second ; toes moderate, entirely or nearly
