54 Mfi. a. A. BOULENGER ON THE REPTILES 



The toes are moderately elongate, depressed, with a narrow dermal margin, one 

 third webbed, and the tips are dilated into large roundish disks, which are, however, 

 smaller than those of the fingers ; the subarticular tubercles are round and flat, and the 

 metatarsal tubercles, of which there are an inner and an outer, are very much flattened 

 and rather indistinct. 



The skin of the upper parts is quite smooth, except on the sides of the head, where 

 there are minute round glandules. A narrow prominent fold extends obliquely from 

 the eye to the shoulder, passing above the tympanum. The belly and the thighs 

 inferiorly are covered with large flat granules, while the rest of the lower surfaces are 

 perfectly smooth. 



One of the two specimens, a male, is above greyish brown, minutely speckled with 

 blackish, and with rather indistinct traces of cross bands on the limbs. The other, a 

 female, is above of a light pinkish-brown, darker, purplish on the head, and with 

 irregular dark brown spots on the back and cross bands on the limbs. The lower 

 surfaces are uniform whitish, the lower lip edged with brown. 

 The male has a pair of internal vocal sacs.

Two specimens were collected in Treasury Island by Mr. Guppy. 

 Cornufer guppyi is allied to C. dorsalis, A. Dum., from the Fiji Islands, but diflers 

 chiefly in the broader and more depressed head and the larger disks of the toes.

The vomerine teeth form two rather long transverse or slightly oblique, slightly 

 arched series behind the level of the choanae; externally these series extend to the 

 vertical of the anterior border, or of the centre of the choanse, and the interspace 

 between them is less than the length of one of them. There is no conical papilla on 

 the tongue, and the Eustachian tubes are larger than the choanse. 



The head is very large, moderately depressed, as broad as the body, semioval in 

 contour ; its length equals its width, and is contained twice and a half to twice and 

 three fourths in the distance from the end of the snout to the vent. The snout is 

 rounded, and does not project; its length equals, or hardly exceeds, the diameter of
