The description here given differs from the type description 
as follows : Vomerine teeth only partially behind choanse ; inter- 
orbital distance equal to upper eyelid; tympanum more than 
one-half, but less than three-fifths, diameter of eye ; distance of 
eye from nostrils a little less than diameter of eye; disks on 
fingers not pointed anteriorly; no pustules on eyelids or above 
tympanum; color obviously different. 
Three specimens in my collection from Bunawan also differ 
from the type in a few characters : Tympanum about five-sixths 
the diameter of eye; interorbital distance greater than upper 
eyelid ; disks of fingers appearing pointed and somewhat smaller 
than in the Negros form. The last character may be due to the 
preserving fiuid, as the specimens are somewhat hardened. They 
differ markedly from the type in coloration ; two are dark brown 
above, whitish below, and the third is brownish gray; only one 
specimen shows two white areas below the anus; the V-shaped 
mark is evident in two specimens, the dorsolateral streak is 
wanting in all. The snout in all the specimens is not so truncate 
as in the Negros form. A specimen in my collection from Baguio, 
in a rather poor state of preservation, apparently belongs to this 
species; the snout is even more truncate than in the Negros 
specimen; the body is grayish above, and the posterior part of
