Variation. — A third specimen in my collection agrees fairly 
well in proportions with the other two, but is smaller. In this 
specimen the following differences in markings are evident : The 
ground color of the back is much lighter along the dorsolateral 
line ; the sides are lighter with only a narrow dark line along the 
upper part ; the chin and underside of limbs are somewhat more 
densely powdered with brown. 
Remarks. — Three specimens are in my collection. They were 
taken in low mountains near Bunawan, Agusan, Mindanao. They 
may be related to Girard’s species Rana mindanensis, of Minda- 
nao, but they differ from it in a few essential points. In R. 
mindanensis the eyelid equals the interorbital region, and the 
toes are entirely webbed ; the coloration also is different. Other 
differences are evident on a comparison of the two descriptions.

Description of species. — (From Boulenger.) “Vomerine teeth 
in two short oblique series commencing on a line with the hinder 
edge of the choanae. Head moderate, as long as broad; snout 
short, rounded, as long as the diameter of the orbit; canthus 
rostralis angular; loreal region slightly concave; nostril equi- 
distant from the orbit and the end of the snout; interorbital 
space as broad as or a little narrower than the upper eyelid; 
tympanum distinct, three-fifths the diameter of the eye. Fingers 
moderate, the tips swollen or dilated into very small disks; first 
finger extending slightly beyond second ; toes moderate, two-thirds 
webbed, the tips dilated into small but very distinct disks ; sub- 
articular tubercles moderate ; inner metatarsal tubercle elliptical, 
flat, measuring two-fifths or one-half the length of the inner toe ;
