thirds webhed ; disks larger ttan the tympanum ; subarticular tu- 

 bercles moderate ; a small inner metatarsal tubercle. The hind limb 

 being carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation

 thighs ; a fold above the tympanum. Greyish above, forehead and 

 sides of the body lighter ; legs irregularly cross-barred ; hinder side 

 of thighs colourless ; throat brown-spotted. Male with an internal

Vomerine teeth ? Tongue with a free conical papilla in the 



middle. Snout roiinded ; canthus rostralis distinct ; loreal region 

 slightly concave ; nostril equally distant from the eye and the tip of 

 the snout ; interorbital space broader than the upper eyelid ; tym- 

 panum one third the width of the eye. Eingers slightly, toes two- 

 thirds webbed ; disks of fingers as large as the tympanum, of toes 

 rather smaller ; subarticular tubercles well developed ; a small inner 

 metatarsal tubercle. The hind limb being carried forwards along 

 the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the eye. Skin smooth 

 above, granular beneath ; a fold from the eye to the shoulder. Eed- 

 dish brown above, with indistinct markings ; thighs colourless in 

 front and behind. 



Though the single specimen exhibits no vomerine teeth, J. am in- 

 clined to think that this is accidental, and that therefore this species 

 must be referred to Rhcwophorus.
