250 MR. G. A. BOULEXGEB OX SOUTH-AFRICAX [June 6, 



teeth (five in number)*, with X. clivii and X. calcaratus 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 X. fraseri. 



Phaneroglossa. 



2. BuFO REGULARis Reuss. 



Umfolosi Station, Hluhluwe Stream, Ngoye Hills, Wakker- 

 stroom. 



3. BUFO GRAXTI Blgr. 



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 Sovith 

 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 tympaninu measui'es 

 three-fifths the diameter of the eye, the first finger extends a little 

 beyond the second, the tibio-tarsal ai-ticidation reaches the 

 tympanum, and the subarticular tubei'cles 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. Bufo angusticeps A. Smith. 



Durban Road. 



Several specimens, the largest measuring 46 millim. from snout 

 to vent. The fii'st 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, desci'ibed by Barboza 

 du Bocage in 1895 as a close ally of £. angusticeps, is more nearly 

 related to Smith's Bufo vertebralis, which, following Giinther, I 

 have erroneously regarded as the young of B. carens. The 

 examination of a small Toad found at Yi'cdefort Road, Orange 

 River Colony, by Major Bai-rett- Hamilton, and of which four 

 specimens have iDeen presented by him to the British Museum, 

 has convinced me of my error. The bi'eeding male, with large 

 gulai' vocal sac, measui'es only 27 millim. from snout to vent, the 

 female 35. In these specimens, the tympanimi is close to the eye, 



* The vomer is single in JT. Icevis, mnelhri, and clivii, absent in A", calcaraivs, 

 Si/menocJiiriis, and Pipa.
