A NEW FROG, ELE U T HEROD A CTYLUS WETMOREI, 
FROM THE REPUBLIC OF HAITI. 
BY DORIS M. COCHRAN. 
A small collection of reptiles and amphibians from Haiti, 
secured in 1927 by Dr. Alexander Wetmore of the United States 
National Museum while travelling on funds provided for zoo- 
logical collecting by the late Mr. B. H. Swales, has already 
yielded a genus of Anguid lizards 1 new to science, and a new 
species of Chamaelinorops, 2 a genus formerly known only from 
Navassa. The frog described below I recognized as being 
distinct at the time these other new forms were being studied, 
but as the specimens were not in a good state of preservation, 
its description was put off in the hope that fresh material from 
the type locality could be obtained. It seems unlikely that 
such material will be forthcoming, therefore the following 
description has been drawn up. It is a pleasure to name the 
species for its collector. 
Eleutherodactylus wetmorei, new species. 
Diagnosis. — Belly granular; no spinelike tubercle on upper eyelid; toes 
and ringers very slightly webbed, rounded at the tips; head moderate; 
snout normally rounded in profile; tibio-tarsal articulation reaching to 
posterior corner of eye; vomerine teeth in 2 oblique groups behind and 
between the choanae; thigh and groin heavily marked with dark blotches on 
a pale ground. 
Type.—U. S. N. M. No. 72617, an adult from Fonds-des-Negres, Haiti, 
taken by Dr. A. Wetmore on April 5, 1927, from the nest of a palm-chat, 
Dulus dominicus, together with two tree-toads, Hyla dominicensis. 
Description of the type. — Tongue broad, apparently not emarginate
