no outer metatarsal tubercle ; no tarsal fold. Tibio-tarsal artic- 
ulation reaching the tip of the snout or beyond; tibia as long 
as or a little shorter than the fore limb. Skin nearly smooth; 
posterior half of upper eyelids warty; a fold from the eye to 
the shoulder; a narrow glandular dorso-lateral fold, beginning 
behind the upper eyelid, above the supratemporal fold.” 
Color . — “Brown or greyish brown above ; sides of snout below 
the canthi blackish or dark grey, with some more or less distinct 
dark vertical bars on the lip; supratemporal and dorso-lateral 
folds edged with dark brown or black on the outer side; a dark 
crossbar between the eyes and a dark A-shaped interscapular 
marking usually present; limbs with regular dark cross-bands; 
lower parts whitish, uniform, or throat and breast spotted with 
brown. Male with internal vocal sacs. 
“From snout to vent 43 millim.” 
Remarks. — The types are from Palawan where they were col- 
lected by A. Everett. Later the species was discovered by the 
same collector on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo, and in Celebes. The 
types are females and consequently have no vocal sacs. Speci- 
mens of males taken in Celebes had vocal sacs. In Celebes the 
species has been taken at an elevation of 4,000 feet. The species 
appears to be closely related to Rana leytensis Boettger, but that 
species lacks the dorsolateral fold present in R. palavanensis. 
According to Boulenger, it is related also to R. modesta Boulen- 
ger, R. dorise Boulenger, R. limhorgii Sclater, and R. hascheana 
Stoliczka.

Description of species. — (From No. 28, Bureau of Science col- 
lection; collected on Polillo Island, P. I., October, 1909, by C. 
Canonizado.) Vomerine teeth in two large, oblique, strongly 
denticulated series, arising from the anterior inner edge of the 
choanse, but their greater length lies behind the posterior edge ; 
separated from each other by a distance less than one-half the 
length of a single series; two strongly raised, transverse, bony 
ridges behind choanse, separated from each other by a distance 
equal to two-thirds that between choanse ; vomerine teeth barely 
extend to their anterior level ; this latter distance equal to dis- 
tance of nostril to eye ; tongue very large, cordif orm ; Eustachian 
tubes as far from each other as from choanse; two large man- 
dibular teeth on the anterior part of lower jaw, fitting into the 
depressions in upper jaw; head very slightly longer than broad.
