Remarks . — Only a single specimen was taken. It was found 
in a small pool of water, near the top of Eongao Peak, on the 
small island of the same name. No other specimen was seen. 
This species appears to be most closely related to Philautus vit- 
tiger Eoulenger, from Java, and the differences are not great 
when compared with Boulenger’s description. P. montanus is 
probably a larger species, and the markings are entirely different.

” Boulenger has recognized Gunther’s genus Platymantis as a genus 
distinct from Cornufer Tschudi. In the latter genus he includes for the 
most part large-disked forms. He includes the four Philippine forms C. 
guentheri, C. jayori, C. worcesteri, and C. corrugatus, the latter probably 
through error since he also includes this species with Platymantis, together 
with P. meyeri. I have been unable to examine a specimen of C. jagori, 
but it is described as having small but distinct disks, probably similar 
to those of C. corrugatus. The new species described in this work, C. 
laticeps, would also be referred to this group. 
With my present study of the group I do not regard the separation of 
these groups as warranted, and doubt greatly that the character of the disks 
alone is more of a generic character than are vomerine teeth, the char- 
acter of the nostril, or the webbing of the feet. The character of the disks 
appears to be the only difference between the tv.^o genera.
