considerably shorter than second, which is to the same extent 
shorter than fourth; disks of fingers rounded, large, especially 
those of third and fourth fingers; toes webbed at base only; 
disks well developed, about the size of those of second finger; 
subarticular tubercles well developed; a small oval inner meta- 
tarsal tubercle, no outer ; no tarsal fold ; hind legs being carried 
forward along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches a 
considerable distance beyond the tip of the snout; skin finely 
shagreened above, coarsely granular on the entire lower surface, 
including the throat, underside of limbs, and even hands and 
feet; a strong glandular fold from eye to shoulder; no dorso- 
lateral fold.” 
Color . — (In formalin and transferred to alcohol.) “Above 
dark chocolate brown, with a hair fine pale line from tip of 
snout along the entire middle line of the body; snout from tip 
to a line across the middle of upper eyelids pale cinnamon in 
strong contrast; a large dusky mark behind this pale area on 
the interorbital space and involving the upper eyelids, though 
visible only with difficulty on account of the dark color of the 
rest of the upper surface; whole loreal and temporal area dark 
brown, apparently a shade darker than the back; flanks, anterior 
and posterior aspects of the thighs, underside of tibia and foot 
with a strong suffusion of a deep saturated burnt sienna ; under- 
side whitish with a number of irregular spots or patches of 
brown; a few irregular white spots on the sides of the body.” 
Remarks . — Stejneger records variations in a second specimen 
as follows : “The entire dorsal surface is of the same color as the 
prefrontal area, so that the sides are marked by a very broad 
dark brown band from the nostrils backward. The transverse 
dark frontal band consequently also stands out in strong con- 
trast.” It is presumably most closely related to Philautus leiten- 
sis from Leyte. It differs in the long acuminate and projecting 
snout, and the lesser extent of the webbing of the toes. The 
color is different. The types were collected on Mount Apo, Da- 
vao, Mindanao, at an elevation of nearly 2,000 meters, by E. A. 
Mearns, June 20, 1904. They are at present in the United States 
National Museum. The species has not been rediscovered.
