224 TV JU L I U S V. MADARÁSZ. Five specimens, strictly agreeing with COPE'S diagnosis of Cystignathu. s 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 where interrupted by the inner oval metatarsal 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. Fam. BUFOXIDAE. 13. Bufo diptychus COPE. Bufo diphtychus COPE, Proc. Ac. Philad., 1862, p. 353 et 1863, p. 50; BouLENGER, Cat. Batr. Sal., 1882, p. 292. Five specimens ; two greater (length 20 mm. ). three smaller (13'5 mm from snout to venti, agreeing strictly with the descriptions. 14. Bufo marinus L. Uona marina LINNÉ . Syst. Nat., ed. X, 1758, p. 211, n. 7. Bufo marinus BOULENGER, Cat. Batr. Sal., 1882, p. 315; BOETTGER, Zeitsckr. f. Naturw., LVIII, 1885, p. 246; GÜNTHER , Biol. Centr.-Amer., Kept, et Batr.. 1902, p. 249. One specimen in the length of 71 mm., angreeing with the descriptions. Prof. BOETTGER remarks : «Die Kürze der hinteren Gliedmaassen. deren Tibio-Tarsalgelenk nur bis ans Trommelfell reicht, ist etwas auffällig», but lie 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 tarsometatarsal 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.
