Mr.. Russell Wallace discovered in
Borneo flying fro~. He says: On ex-
aiming it found the toes very long and
fully webbed to their very extremity. so
that when expanded they offered a sur
face much larger than that of the BODY.
The fore-legs were also bordered by
membrane, and the body was capable of
considerable imitation The back and
limbs were Ola very deep shining green
color, and the under surface and inner
toes yellow, while the webs were
black, rayed with yellow. The
body was about four inches long
while the webs of each hind foot
when fully expanded covered a surface
of four square inches and the webs of ali
the feet together about twelve square
inches. The extremities of the toes have
dilated disks for adhesion, showing the
creature to be true tree-frog" it is
