Five specimens, strictly agreeing with Cope’s diagnosis of Cystigna- 
thus podicipinus, but the tympanum two thirds the diameter of the eye. 
Skin on the posterior part of the back and on the upper surface of the 
hind limbs all over studded with minute, white-pointed warts. Male with 
two spine-bearing black tubercles on the inner side of the first digit. Toes 
with margins nearly as wide as a phalanx ; a tarsal fold continuous with 
that of the inner toe, except wTiere interrupted by the inner oval meta¬ 
tarsal tubercle ; outer metatarsal tubercle much smaller than the inner 
and roundish. Tibio-tarsal articulation does not reach the eye. Above 
blackish-brown, with indistinct darker spots and cross-bars on the limbs ; 
beneath lighter brown, spotted all over with yellowish-white.

Five specimens ; two greater (length 20 mm.), three smaller (13*5 mm 
from snout to venti, agreeing strictly with the descriptions.

One specimen in the length of 71 mm., angreeing with the descrip¬ 
tions. Prof. Boettger remarks : «Die Kürze der hinteren Gliedmaassen, 
deren Tibio-Tarsaigelenk nur bis ans Trommelfell reicht, ist etwas auf¬ 
fällig)), but he seems to have, overlooked that Boulenger speaks in his 
description from the tarso-metatarsal articulation. On my specimen 
the tibio-tarsal articulation does not reach the tympanum, but the tarso¬ 
metatarsal articulation reaches the centre of the eye. Parotoids divergent, 
trilateral, extending to axilla and continuous with a lateral dermal fold. 
Above greyish-brown with dark spots symmetrically arranged, beneath 
whitish, variegated with black.
