entirely webbed, the tips dilated into small disks ; a cutaneous 

 fringe along the outer side of the fifth toe ; subarticular tubercles 

 moderate ; inner metatarsal tubercle oval or elliptical, flat, 

 measuring one-third to one-half the length of the inner toe. The 

 tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the tip of the snout or between 

 the eye and the tip of the snout. Skin of the back with small 

 warts or rather inchstiuct, short, interrupted longitudinal glandular 

 folds ; a strong supratemporal fold ; upper eyelids tubercular ; a 

 more or less distinct fold of the skin between the latter. Brown, 

 grey-brown, or blackish olive above, with or without rather 

 indistinct darker spots ; sometimes two lighter stripes on the back 

 and the canthi rostrales, meeting on the tip of the snout ; some- 

 times a light vertebral stripe ; a dark cross-bar between the eyes 

 often present; a black spot sometimes present on the tympanum; 

 upper lip with dark vertical bars, t\\o below the eye ; limbs with 

 dark cross-bands ; hinder side of thighs dark brown, with light 

 spots or whitish marblings : lower parts white, uniform or speckled 

 or spotted with brown. Male with internal vocal sacs. 



From snout to vent 85 millim. 



Several specimens : Tomobon, Buol, Matinaug Mts. 



Manado, Gorontalo {Meyer). The specimens referred by Peters 

 to R. macrodoa belong to this species. 



4. EaNA LEXTEIfSIS, Bttgr. 



Eana hytensis, Boettger, Zool. Anz. 1893, p. 365. 



One specimen : Kingdom of Lubu ; one specimen : Takalekadjo 

 Mts., towards L. Posso, 3000 feet. Several specimens were 

 obtained in Southern Celebes by Mr. Everett. 



Originally described from Leyte, Philippines, this species has 

 been rediscovered at Tawi-Tawi, Sooloo Islands, by jMt. Everett, 

 and at Sandakan, Isorth Borneo, by Mr. Douglas Cator. 



This small Frog (the largest specimen measures only 38 millim. 

 from snout to vent) is closely allied to the preceding, with youug 

 specimens of which it may easily be confounded. But the toes 

 ai-e more slender, two-thirds or thi-ee-fourths webbed, the three 

 last phalanges of the fourth toe are free from the web and extend 

 beyond the fifth toe, the terminal disk of which corresponds to 

 the second subarticular tubercle of the fourth toe. 



The first fiuger extends as far as the second, or slightly beyond. 

 The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the nostril, the tip of the 

 snout, or a little beyond. The skin of the upper part is warty, 

 some of the warts formhig interrupted longitudinal folds, but the 

 dorso-lateral folds of li. palavanensis are absent. The coloration 

 is very variable ; some specimens have a bright yellow or orange 

 spot covering the snout between the canthi and the anterior part 

 of the interocular region : one specimen has a broad yellow 

 vertebral stripe ; others have a pair of yellowish dorsal stripes 

 corresponding in position to the dorsal folds of R. palavanensis. 

 Males are provided with a pair of internal vocal sacs.
