. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. FROGS OF COLOMBIA—COCHRAN AND GOIN 159 very prominent, its diameter equal to its distance from nostril; inter- orbital distance about one-half the width of upper eyelid, which is about equal to distance between nostrils. Tympanum very distinct, about one-half the diameter of eye, separated from eye by about one-half its own diameter. Fingers entirely free, fourth finger con- siderably longer than second, reaching to middle of disk of third which slightly more than covers the tympanic area; no rudiment of a pollex. Toes slightly more than one-half webbed, web to base of disk of second and fourth toes, third and fifth toes subequal, disk of fourth toe covering the tympanic area; a distinct oval inner and a smaller, less-distinct, rounded outer metatarsal tubercle; no tarsal ridge; no dermal appendage on heel. Body not elongate, in postaxillary region but little narrower than greatest width of head; when hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches beyond naris; when limbs are laid along the side, knee and elbow considerably overlap, the knee reaching the axilla; when hind legs are bent at right angles to body, heels slightly overlap. No patagium. Skin of upper parts glandular, with prominent, elongate, wart-like tubercles arising from various areas in which the glandules of the skin appear particularly concentrated, these tubercles particularly conspicuous around the tympanum and at the bases of.
