Taylor: Philippine Amphibia 
335 
I take pleasure in naming this species for Prof. H. Otley Beyer, 
of the University of the Philippines, who assisted in making 
collections. 
Chaperina visaya sp. nov. Plate 9, fig. 3. 
Type. — No. B80, Bureau of Science collection; collected on 
Biliran Island, P. L, May, 1914, by R. C. McGregor. 
Description of type . — Head broader than long; tongue oval, 
not notched behind ; choanae small, nearly hidden under edge of 
jaw; no vomerine teeth or palatal ridge; two transverse dermal 
ridges in front of oesophagus, the anterior rather arched; eye 
large, its diameter equal to its distance from tip of snout; 
canthus rostralis rounded; lores vertical, not concave; snout 
rounded, projecting somewhat; nostril nearer tip of snout than 
eye; interorbital region nearly twice the width of upper eyelid; 
tympanum not visible; a very dim fold from eye to foreleg; 
skin above smooth, with two prominent tubercles on shoulders; 
numerous other tubercles on posterior part of back, sides and 
limbs; a skin fold from angle of jaw to foreleg; fingers free, 
with broad disks, second and fourth nearly same length; sub- 
articular tubercles dim ; toes free, with disks smaller than those 
on fingers ; a flat outer metatarsal tubercle, inner dim or wanting ; 
subarticular tubercles dim; the tibiotarsal articulation fails to 
reach eye. 
Color in formalin . — Above variegated brown with a somewhat 
darker area on head; a median very narrow light line; two 
rather large light spots on either side of middle of back with an 
H-shaped mark extending above and on either side of anus. 
These markings, together with the dorsal, give an appearance of 
a caricature of a man’s face; under surface of belly and limbs 
dirty white ; chin darker than belly.
