From Volusia, Florida; Mrs. A. D. Lungren. 
This Chorophilus is similar in proportions to the C. triseriutus, but is 
well distinguished by the characters of the skin, and the coloration. The 
tubercular upper surface is quite peculiar, and the smooth gular region is 
equally wanting to the Northern frog. The dorsal skin is somewhat like 
that of Acris gryllus. 
LITHODYTES LANCIFORMIS Cope. 
Vomerine teeth in two fasciculi which are truncate posteriorly, and are 
situated behind the posterior line of the posterior nares. The supraorbital 
borders not thrown into ridges. Tympanum not narrowed. Heel reach- 
ing to extremity of muzzle, when the posterior leg is extended. The head 
is nearly twice as long as the pelvis. 
' The head and muzzle are flat, the latter narrowed and convex at the ex- 
tremity. The canthus rostralis is well defined, and the nostril is nearly 
terminal. The bones are nearly plane and vertical, and their length to the 
end of the muzzle is twice the diameter of the eye. The latter is one-third 
greater than that of the tympanum. The choane exceed the ostia in size. 
There are no dermal folds on the back or inferior surface. The metatarsi 
are all somewhat separated, and connected by a thin membrane, but this 
is merely due to the attenuation of the usual solar integument. The hind 
legs are very long ; the pallettes small on the hands, and of median size on 
the feet. 
The color above is dark ashen penetrated with pink ; there is a nar- 
row median dorsal white line. A broad black band extends from the end 
of the muzzle across the tympanum, where it contracts to a narrow black 
line which extends from the superior border of the tympanum to near the 
middle of the side. The concealed surfaces of the limbs are uniformly 
dusky ; the femur and tibia are pink with dusky cross-bands. There is a 
dark interorbital cross-band in front of which the muzzle is very pale. 
Upper lip without dark spots; below immaculate. 
Total length M. .026; of head, .011, or 2.4 of the total. Hind limb, .050. 
From the ‘‘ West Coast of Central America,’’ without more specific lo- 
cality. 
This species is easily distinguished by the great relative length of the 
head, especially as compared with that of the pelvis.
