smaller one in it, especially on the back. Fore legs sligbtly tubercular 

 only. Buttocks granulated ; the granules depressed (not tubercular). 

 On each side a broad depressed ridge of skin, not very distinct at first 

 sight, extending front the eye over tympanum in a line slightly convex 

 above to near the groin, where it is interrupted, and then takes a sud- 

 den bend upwards, over the leg, towards the anus, ceasing about ojp- 

 posite the articulation. This ridge is sometimes only traceable by the 

 cribriform pores, which are crowded in it for its whole length ; no branch 

 visible back of the tympanum. A glandular fold, as already described, 

 back from the jaw. Tibia about half the length of the bodyj a little, 

 longer than the femur and shorter than hind foot; third finger longest ; 

 then fourth ; second rather shortest; first much swollen at the base. Ter- 

 minal joints of toes nearly Iree from web, especially on the inner edge, 

 which is the case with the inner edges of the second joints of the second, 

 third, and fourth toes. The membrane extends along the outer edge 

 of second joint of fourth toe for a short distance. Cuneiform process 

 moderate, with a small tubercle opposite it on the sole. Bounded tuber- 

 cles beneath all the articulations, except the terminal. Tips of all the 

 fingers and toes somewhat knobbed. 



Color above yellowish-olive, with obsolete subcircular indistinct 

 blotches of darker, interspersed with dark dots of the same, generally 

 on the tubercles. The dots appear somewhat condensed along the dor- 

 sal ridge. A few indistinct transverse fasciae on the legs. Beneath, 

 greenish- white, with indistinct mottlingsof dusky present on the inner 

 faces of the limbs, leaving no portion of the body unicolor. A trace, 

 perhaps, of a yellowish line along the posterior portion of the jaw. But- 

 tocks dark brown, with light spots.

With a general resemblance to B. aurora, it differs in being more 

 tubercular and pustulous above, the shorter limbs, the smaller but 

 more fully webbed feet, broader head and tongue, etc. 



This species differs from R. clamata in the broader, more depressed 

 body, and dorsal fold, large foot, smaller tympanum, etc.
