Oxyglossus l^evis, G ii ii t h e r. 



Batrachia salient. Brit. Mus., p. 7, pi. I, fig. A. 



A small specimen, the body measuring 1£ inch, which length is 

 equal to the distance between the anus and metatarsal tubercle ; 

 the 4th toe is half an inch long ; tympanum very indistinct, smaller 

 than the eye. Skin with a few scattered tubercles, more numerous 

 posteriorly, laterally between fore and hind-limbs conspicuously 

 extended. Color above, pale vinaceous, or ashy brown, lighter on 

 the limbs, all over with darker fine marblings and spots ; a some- 

 what indistinct very narrow band between the eyes, which are very 

 prominent ; upper lip spotted with white ; a short, thin flexuous 

 fold extends from the upper edge of the eye to the shoulder ; an- 

 other much less distinct short fold crosses obliquely the angle of 

 the mouth and is white. Below, yellowish white, on chin and 

 throat marbled and reticulated with dusky, farther on uniform white, 

 with little tubercles, these becoming most distinct on the median 

 hinder side of the femora. There is a distinct fold of the skin on 

 the inner side of the lower two-thirds of the tarsus, and a very thin 

 fold also on the fifth toe, which GKinther does not notice. 



Four specimens of this species exist in the Asiatic Society's 

 collections. They are about equal in size to the Moulmein speci- 

 men and quite similar to it in coloration ; all without a pale 

 median dorsal streak. Yery probably they are also from Burma. 

 All the specimens agree in their structural characters so perfect- 

 ly with Giinther's description and figure, that there can be 

 hardly any doubt as to the identity of both, but the Burmese form 

 appears to be constantly smaller than the Philippine one.

Body, above, covered with small, sub-equal, pointed tubercles, 

 obsolete on the front part of the head ; below, with numerous 

 interspersed large tubercles of which two longitudinal rows on the 

 middle of the chin and throat are especially conspicuous on ac- 

 count of their regularity ; the large tubercles do not extend on the 

 loins, but are very marked on the lower belly. Snout short,
