I have nothing to add to my description of this very interesting spe- 

 cies. The type specimen preserved in the Indian Museum, an adult male, 

 is the only representative of the species. It would be very desirable to 

 obtain other specimens, especially females, as the peculiar cavity on the 

 head between the ears may be a secondary sexual character analogous to the 

 frontal sac of some species of Phyllorhina.
