250 MR. G. A. BOULENGER ON SOUTH-AFRICAN [ June 6, 
teeth (five in number)*, with X. eliwi and X. calearatus in the 
presence of a metatarsal “claw.” These specimens, the larger of 
which measures only 39 millim., no doubt indicate a distinct 
species, for which I propose the name XY. fraserv. 
PHANEROGLOSSA. 
2. BuroO REGULARIS Reuss. 
Umfolosi Station, Hluhluwe Stream, Ngoye Hills, Wakker- 
stroom. : 
3. Buro Granti Bler. 
Durban Road, Klipfontein. 
Since this species was described, in 1903, from numerous 
specimens obtained by Mr. Grant at Deelfontein, it has been 
rediscovered at Matjesfontein by Dr. W. F. Purcell, of the South 
African Museum. The male specimen which the British Museum 
has received from that institution measures 60 millim. from snout 
to vent and strikingly resembles a Bufo viridis. The interorbital 
space is as broad as the upper eyelid, the tympanum measures 
three-fifths the diameter of the eye, the first finger extends a little 
beyond the second, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the 
tympanum, and the subarticular tubercles under the toes are all 
single. The single male specimen found by Mr. Grant in a 
garden on Durban Road, near Cape Town, agrees very closely with 
the Matjesfontein Toad, but some of the subarticular tubercles 
under the toes are double. Another male, from Klipfontein, also 
has double subarticular tubercles. 
4, Buro anausticers A. Smith. 
Durban Road. 
Several specimens, the largest measuring 46 millim. from snout 
to vent. The first finger never extends beyond the second, the 
fold along the inner side of the tarsus is more or less distinct, and 
the subarticular tubercles of the toes are usually single, although 
there are occasionally two between the last phalanges of the 
fourth toe. 
Bufo dombensis, from Dombe, Benguella, described by Barboza 
du Bocage in 1895 as a close ally of B. angusticeps, is more nearly 
related to Smith’s Bufo vertebralis, which, following Gunther, I 
have erroneously regarded as the young of B. carens. The 
examination of a small Toad found at Vredefort Road, Orange 
River Colony, by Major Barrett-Hamilton, and of which four 
specimens have been presented by him to the British Museum, 
has convinced me of my error. The breeding male, with large 
gular vocal sac, measures only 27 millim. from snout to vent, the 
female 35. In these specimens, the tympanum is close to the eye, 
* The vomer is single in X. levis, muelleri, and clivii, absent m X. calearatus, 
Hymenochirus, and Pipa.
