ends of the digits dilated. During the breeding season these 
frogs are incredibly common about Manila, even on the streets; 
they may be taken in quantity at this time, after which they 
disappear and are very rarely found. They seem to be wholly 
terrestrial or subterrestrial. The species is known in Luzon, 
Negros, and Mindoro. Three specimens in my collection, pre- 
sented to me by W. Schultze, are said to be from Dumaran Island, 
near Palawan. This locality I believe doubtful.

Description of species . — (From Boulenger.) “Snout short, 
rounded, as long as the orbital diameter; interorbital space 
broader than the upper eyelid. Fingers moderate, the tips 
strongly dilated, truncated ; first finger shorter than second ; toes 
rather short, webbed at the base, 
the tips swollen into small disks ; 
subarticular tubercles distinct; 
metatarsal tubercles two, oval, 
inner large, compressed, with 
blunt edge. The hind limb 
being carried forwards along the 
body, the tarso-metatarsal artic- 
ulation reaches between the 
shoulder and the eye. Skin smooth, or with small flat warts on 
the upper surfaces; a fold from the eye to the shoulder, and 
another, more or less indistinct, across the head behind the eyes. 
Male with a subgular vocal sac.” 
Color. — “Brown, olive, or blackish above, uniform or varie- 
gated with darker; frequently large whitish spots on the arm- 
pits, on the loins, and on the limbs; beneath brown, variegated 
with whitish.” 
Remarks . — This species is known from Java, Celebes, and the 
Philippine Islands. Two specimens in the British Museum were 
collected by Dr. A. B. Meyer, at Laguna de Bay. It is noted 
that Meyer also collected this species in Celebes and that speci- 
mens from that locality also are in the British Museum. As the
