Variation . — A male taken at the same time is much smaller, 
and strikingly different in color. Length, snout to vent, 55 
millimeters. The ground color is bright orange yellow with a 
very narrow, irregular line across the eyes and another, slightly 
wider and more irregular, across snout in front of eyes; a dim 
irregular light brown blotch between shoulders and another small* 
group of dark dots on middle of back; entire upper surface 
with scattered, small, round, brown dots; limbs dotted or with 
short irregular lines; barring on limbs not or scarcely evident. 
The webs between toes slightly shorter ; that is, the web does not 
reach the disks, except on outer side of second and third toes. 
The webs between fingers are also shorter, not reaching the 
disks on any of the fingers. 
A specimen from Luzon shows some slight differences. I 
append a rather complete description (No. 10, Bureau of Science 
collection). Vomerine teeth in two short series arising from 
anterior inner edge of choanae, not curving, converging but 
slightly, and widely separated from each other ; Eustachian tubes 
with large visible openings near inner angle of mouth; tongue 
broad, deeply notched behind; head as broad as long; eyes 
prominent; deep interorbital region, its width a little greater 
than the width of one eyelid; canthus indistinct, rounded, not
