length of the body from the vent to the snout almost equals the distance between 

 the vent and the heel. The rudiment of a web occurs at the base of the fingers. 

 The toes are not broadly webbed, but the membrane, although emarginate, reaches 

 to the disks in all the toes with the exception of the fourth, where it ceases 

 at the distal end of the second phalanx. A small elongated tubercle at the base of 

 the first toe. Disks of the fingers very feebly developed, but those of the toes more 

 strongly so, but not prominent, both fingers and toes being very slender. The first 

 finger slightly exceeds the length of the second, but is slightly shorter than the fourth, 

 considerably shorter than the third. The fifth toe is very slightly longer than the 

 third, while the fourth is one-third of its length longer than the fifth.

A narrow glandular fold from behind the eye along the side of the body. 

 Skin perfectly smooth. 



The colour of all the upper parts is dark olive-brown, with a dark, almost 

 blackish band from the snout through the eye, along the sides to the groin, and a 

 narrow pale-yellowish line from below the eye to the shoulder. A narrow, obscure 

 greenish-yeUow line along the glandular fold. The fore and hind hmbs obscurely 

 banded with brown, but on the hind limbs the colour is much better defined, 

 dark-brown bands with pale margins occurring at regular intervals. The throat and 

 chest are almost black from the profuse fine punctulation of the skin with a dark- 

 brown pigment which is more sparsely distributed on the under surface of the 

 limbs and on the belly, the latter being yellowish. The membrane of the fingers is 

 similarly punctulated. 



This species was found under stones in a hill stream debouching into the 

 Irawady, in the second defile. 



I have associated tbe name of the lamented Margary with this species. He 

 took a lively interest in the scientific objects of the Expedition of 1875, but was 

 ruthlessly murdered by the Chinese at Manwyne.

These specimens agree in all their details with the types with which they have 

 been compared. 



In the month of July I found a few bushes about Momien covered with this frog.
