disks, save as very narrow skin folds; the skin fold on fifth toe is slightly narrower; the first finger is longer than second by half the length of disk, and the skin fold on inner fingers is less distinct; the inverted V -shaped fold is present, but the double row of pustules behind is wanting. Remarks.-The type was collected by Jose Quadras and the locality given is "Island of Leyte." The species is known also from Polillo, Mindanao, Tawitawi, Bongao, and Papahag, in the Philippines. Boulenger reports the species from several localities in Celebes, and from Sandakan, North Borneo. Specimens are found invariably in the immediate neighborhood of water, usually along streams. I have not been able to recognize their tadpoles. RANA ERYTHRJEA (Schlegel)
