is made to appear so by straightening the body after it had been har- 

 dened in spirit in a bent position. The upper coloration is brown with a 

 rufous tinge and with numerous dark spots ; there is generally- a pale 

 band from the eye to the angle of the mouth, bounded posteriorly in its 

 entire length by a fold of the skin. Very young specimens have the toes 

 comparatively less fully webbed than adults. 



Calluella guttulata, (Blyth,) (n. gen.) 



Comp. Callula guttulata, apud Gunther in Proc. Z. S. Lond. for 1868, p. 490, 

 pi. 40, fig. 1. 



Although this species externally most closely resembles the ij^e of 

 the genus Callula, C. pulchra, — except inhaving the tips of fingers and toes 

 scarcely swollen, instead of dilated, — it essentially differs by having two veiy 

 distinctly toothed ridges extending from behind the choanse towards the 

 centre of the vomer and also by the toothed maxillaries and intermaxilla- 

 ries. An adult specimen of about the same size as the one figm-ed by 

 Glinther shews these characters very distinctly, but in young ones these 

 denticulations are scarcely or very deficiently traceable. I have examined a 

 large series of Callula pulchra, but as none of them shew any teeth on the 

 vomer or on the maxillaries, a generic separation of the present species 

 appears to me justified. Its characters are : — 



Calluella. Habit stout ; head and gape of mouth shoii:, maxillaiy 

 and vomerine teeth present, choanse and openings of eustachian tubes 

 small, (two folds across the palate, lower jaw with two prominences) ; 

 tongue entire, free behind ; fingers free, toes webbed, both with truncated, 

 but not swollen tip ; metatarsus with an inner shovel-hke prominence ; 

 processes of sacral vertebrae dilated ; tympanum hidden. 



Tj^pe : Calluella guttulata, (Blyth,) from Pegu. 



Blyth, when originally describing the species as a Megalophrys, must 

 have noticed the maxillary and vomerine teeth, and was, therefore, not very 

 wrong in his determination, but his description is so insufficient, that I 

 would have hardly ventured to identify the present species with it, had 

 Dr. Gunther not done so. Calluella appears to comiect JPyxice])lialus with 

 Megalophrys, differing from the former by the entire tongue and from the 

 latter by the absence of cutaneous prolongations on the eyehds. It evident- 

 ly belongs to the family Dicroglossidcd.

Anderson's re-description of Blyth's species requires an addition. Both, 

 in the type and another specimen collected by Theobald in Pegu, the skin 

 above is not only porose, but throughout distinctly gi^anular, and the tym-
