Inhabits marshy districts, and the banks of rivers, and is usually obtained on the leaves of 
small shrubs, reeds, or strong" grass, which frequently abound in the localities mentioned. 
HYPEROLIUS MXRMORATUS, Rapp, Arcliiv. fur Naturgeschichte, von Dr. W. F. Erichson, 
Band 1, folio 289, taf. vi. figs. 1 & 2. 
This, like Hyperolius Horstockii, is about an inch in length. In some specimens the upper 
parts are dark liver-brown, profusely marked with pale yellow dots ; in others the ground colour is 
pale cream-yellow, variegated with irregular liver-brown bands, streaks, or blotches, lhe eyes are 
very large, and the head in front of the eyes is much shorter than in H. Ilorstocldi , and shows no 
distinct rostral canthus; its abdominal surface is finely corrugated : in II. Horstockii that is distinctly 
granular. 
This species is found abundantly in the neighbourhood of Port Natal, and, like H. Horstockii, 
is found on the leaves of shrubs, reeds, and strong grass. 
HYPEROLIUS VERRUCOSUS, Sundevall, n. s. 
Head the same width as the body, very short and narrow in front of the eyes; nose rounded, 
nasal canthus obsolete; nostrils close to nose. Eyes large and very prominent. Body convex above; 
sides nearly perpendicular; extremities moderately robust; apex of toes moderately enlarged. Toes 
of hinder feet webbed till near the point; those of fore feet free. Upper surface of head, back, and 
outer surface of extremities, with small, thinly set granulations; under surface with larger ones closely 
set, those of the belly largest. The colour of the upper surface of the head dark greyish brown, varie- 
gated with spots, stripes, or broken bars of pale sienna-yellow or cream-yellow. Extremities pale 
buff- orange; the thighs externally freckled with dull olive-green. Inner surface of thighs and belly, 
dull reddish orange; chin and throat pale yellow. Length 1 inch. The colours are those of a specimen 
preserved in spirits. 
Inhabits Kaffirlaiul to the eastward of the Cape Colony. It may possibly be only a variety 
of Hyperolius mavnioratus, but in order to decide this it will he necessary to have an opportunity, 
beyond what I have, of examining more than one specimen. 
HYPEROLIUS TUBERI LIN GU IS, Sundevall, n. s. 
Head not cpiite so wide as the body, short and narrow in front of the eyes; nose slightly 
rounded; rostral canthus obtuse. Nostrils small, immediately under rostral canthus, and close to apex 
of nose. Eyes moderately large, and not very prominent. Body broad anteriorly, very narrow pos- 
teriorly ; sides rather protuberant ; back convex. Extremities long, and rather slender ; toes of fore 
feet free, hinder considerably webbed. The skin of the upper parts of the body, the throat, and 
extremities smooth, of the abdomen and under surface of the thigh granular. Tongue posterioih 
* In 1842, the term Hyperolius was proposed by Rapp as a substitute for Eucnemis of Tschudi, the latter having in 
1823 been adopted for a group of insects. Vide Archiv. fur Naturgeschichte, von Dr. W. F. Erichson, Erster, Bant,
