INVESTIGATIONS ON PARAGUAYAN BATRACHIANS. ál 5 Coloration quite the same as on BOULENGER'S specimens. Greyishwhite or ashgrey above. The triangular spot between the eyes broadly arises from the outer edge of the upper eyelid and is margined with white in front and behind ; the large saddle-shaped spot on the sacral region distinct ; a more or less distinct curved streak on the postorbital fold and a concave stripe on the shoulder black ; upper lip with vertical bars ; limbs cross-barred ; lower parts dirty-white, more or less speckled with brown, sometimes purely white. 20. Hylella Anisitsi n. sp. (Pl. XIII, fig. 1S—Í4.) One specimen ; length 22 mm. from snout to vent. Tongue semicircular, entire and sligthly free behind. Head broader than long. Snout rounded, once and two thirds as long as the diameter of the eye. Canthus rostralis none; loreal region oblique, convex; nostril from the eye as far as the diameter of the latter; interorbital space distinctly broader than the upper eyelid: tympanum very distinct, one half the diameter of the eye. Fingers with a slight rudiment of web ; first much shorter than second : two metacarpal tubercles, inner oval and smaller, the outer much larger and in front longitudinally bisected by a distinct furrow, as in Hf/la nasica COPE. Toes two third webbed ; disks nearly two thirds the diameter ot the tympanum ; subarticular tubercles well developed ; a larger inner and a smaller outer metatarsal tubercle ; tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the centre of the eye. Skin with scattered minute granules, throat, belly and lower surface of thighs granulate ; a postorbital fold surrounds the tympanum, curves to arm. Coloration. Above grey : between the eyes some dark spots; behind the upper eyelids two dark bands, irregularly edged and broken behind into spots (fig. 13); from snout to eye an irregularly edged dark streak, behind the eye a blackish-grey, irregularly edged band surrounding the upper half of the tympanum and extending to groin, but broken into spots from the middle of the flank. Upper lip indistinctly spotted with dark-grey; limbs cross-barred ; hinder side of thighs indistinctly blackishgrey spotted : beneath yellowish-white, throat mottled with grey. This species in its exterior much similar to some young specimens of H if la nasica COPE: between the second and third phalanx is one interarticular cartilage to be found { pl. XIII. fig. 14. ia), and the last phalanx clawlike as in Hyla, but there is no trace of vomerine teeth. Named in honour to the discoverer.
