losa* with a largely glandular abdomen and slightly webbed feet, 

 but the characters are so vaguely given, that the description is of 

 no practical value. 



Ixalus lateralis, n. sp., 



Snout short as long as the eye, rounded in front ; canthus rostralis 

 angular and rounded. Tympanum about one-third the size of the 

 eye. Tongue linear, elongate, slightly notched behind. Eustachi- 

 an tubes about the same size as the choanoe. Skin smooth above ; 

 sides and sacral region with a few minute scattered tubercles. A 

 fold from the eye over the tympanum to the shoulder, terminated 

 over the latter in a rather prominent white tubercle, under surface 

 smooth, limbs moderately long. The tips of the fingers and toes 

 very feebly dilated. Second finger slightly longer than the first, 

 and the third than the former. Fifth about one-half the length of 

 the fourth. Foot rather short, the fourth toe less than one half the 

 length of the body. The first toe very small, about one half the 

 length of the second. The third toe is its distal phalanx longer 

 than the fifth, and the latter reaches only to the distal end of the 

 second phalanx of the fourth. Toes one-fourth webbed, an elongat- 

 ed metatarsal tubercle at the base of the first toe. From the 

 vent to the heel is the length of the snout shorter than the 

 body. 



Uniform brown above (spirit specimen). Three black spots, 

 with a white spot in the centre of some, in linear series along the 

 side. A lower oblong black spot on the side of the sacrum above 

 the groin. A narrow white line on the middle of the side between 

 the fore and hind limbs. A black band along the supratympanal 

 fold. A few black spots above the vent. Back of the thighs black, 

 with a white spot at the end of the band. Legs barred with black. 

 Under surface brownish yellow. 



Length 1", V", hind limb 1", 10'". 



The habitat of this species is unknown. I found it in a bottle 

 along with a specimen of Xenophrys monticolaj&nd labelled Hy- 

 lorana — t
