Variation. — A second specimen, whose measurements are given 
in the second column, was taken in a nearby locality; it differs 
from the first in having a rather broad yellowish white line 
from point of snout to anus, balance of back cinnamon brown, 
snout and lores slightly granular. The dark spots on head are 
dim brownish; the tympanum is slightly larger, and the hind 
leg slightly longer, proportionally. They both differ from the 
type in having the entire under surface, except thigh, smooth 
instead of granular. 
Remarks . — Both specimens are from Bunawan. They were 
found under loose bark, at the bases of large forest trees away 
from the immediate vicinity of water. No other specimen was 
observed. The type is from Dinagat Island and was collected 
by A. Everett. The specimen here described differs slightly 
from the type ; in the type the tympanum equals half the diameter 
of the eye, and the tibiotarsal articulation reaches near to tip 
of snout. The skin above has granular folds in the type which 
are apparently absent in our specimen, save on the sides. The 
coloration and markings are obviously variable. 
This species is similar to Cornufer worcesteri Stejneger, from 
which it differs in the following manner : Tongue without papilla ; 
interorbital region somewhat wider, and entire underside of body 
granular. The last two characters are variable in many species ; 
and, were it not for the absence of the papilla on tongue, I should 
be inclined to regard C. ivorcesteri as being identical with C. 
guentheri. Since the two species were founded on single speci- 
mens (Stejneger’s in an admittedly indifferent state of preserva- 
tion), larger collections may prove that they are the same 
species. My two specimens, which also differ somewhat from 
Boulenger’s description as well as from each other, have distinct 
papillse, but these are less distinct in No. 551 than in the described 
specimen.

Description of type . — (From Stejneger.) “Vomerine teeth in 
two oblique series behind the level of the hinder edge of the 
choanae; orbital diameter slightly less than distance of orbit 
from tip of snout; interorbital space considerably wider than 
upper eyelid; canthus rostralis rounded; lores concave; crown 
flat; tympanum nearly circular, about one-half the diameter of 
the eye; fingers free, first considerably shorter than second, 
which is shorter than fourth ; disks rather large ; toes webbed at 
the base; disks well developed, though not quite so large as on
