Tlie Engystomidre are Toads without neck-glands and with the 
tongue tied in front. They are most abundant in the Oriental 
and Neotropical regions, especially in the latter, which contains 
about half the known species, with isolated species in Australia, 
Africa, and the Southern States of North America. They appear 
to be the remnant of a once extensive and universally distributed 
group, which has maintained itself in two remote regions, but is 
dying out everywhere else. The genera are : — ■ 
Engy stoma (9 sp.), Carolina to La Plata, with one species in 
South China ; Piplopelma (3 sp.), South India to China and 
Java ; Cacopus (2 sp.), Central India ; Clyphoglossus (1 sp.), Pegu ; 
Gallula (4 sp.), Sikhim, Ceylon, China, and Borneo; Brachymerus 
1 sp.), South Africa ; Adenomera (1 sp.), Brazil ; Pacliybatraclms 
(1 sp.), Australia ; Breviceps (2 sp.), South and West Africa ; 
Chdydobatrachus (1 sp.), West Australia; Hypopachus (1 sp.), 
Costa Bica; Bhinoderma (1 sp.), Chili ; Atelopus (1 sp.), Cayenne 
and Peru; Copea (1 sp.), South America; Paludieola (1 sp.),
