and backwards along the forepart of the humerus, separated from 

 the general dark slaty of the arm by a narrow yellowish streak. 

 Below, the elbow and the bands barred with blackish. 



Length of body 2", 10'"; hind limb 5", 2" r . 



Darjeeling, 3,500 feet. 



The single fold along the back, the small tympanum, the smooth 

 skin and the coloration of this species separate it from all its fel- 

 lows. Only one specimen has come under my observation, 



Polypedates tuberculatus, n. sp. 



Head of moderate size ; snout rounded and somewhat pointed. 

 Oanthus rostralis indistinct rounded. Nostrils below it near the 

 tip of the snout. Tympanum about two-thirds the size of the eye, 

 vomerine prominences close to the internal angle of the choanse, 

 rounded and small, with a large interspace between them. Tongue 

 moderately long, deeply notched behind. Fingers broadly webbed, 

 the membrane reaching the disks of the second and fourth fingers. 

 Disks of fingers large, about one-third larger than those of the toes. 

 A small oblong metatarsal tubercle. Length from the vent to the 

 metatarsal tubercle considerably larger than the body. A strong 

 fold from the eye over the tympanum to the shoulder. Skin smooth 

 above. Abdomen finely granular with numerous moderately sized 

 round tubercles ; under surface of thighs granular, with scattered 

 large round tubercles. 



TJpxoer surface uniformly deep brown in spirit. Brownish yellow 

 below with a blackish region round the vent, a short way along 

 the thighs. The tubercles of the abdomen and thighs are darker. 

 Faint black banding on the tibise and femora. Some specimens 

 with a violet spot on the tip of the snout, another before the eye 

 and a broad violet band with dark margins from the eye along the 

 side to the groin. 



Longest specimen 1", 8""; thigh 8'"; leg 9'"; tarsus 5" r ; metatar- 

 sus and toes 1" '. 



This species is intermediate between Polypedates and Rhaco- 

 pharus. In its general form, in the wide interspace between its 

 vomerine processes, it is strongly affined to the latter, while its 

 smaller disks and the incomplete webbing of its toes afiine it to
