A new species of frog, genus Nyctimystes, from Papua

IN July and August, 1943, I was stationed near Taburi, Papua. Here I collected an apparently new Nyctimystes. At hand is a preserved example of this species, and a color painting of its appearance in life. Also available are detailed drawings of a second specimen, showing profile, anal region, open mouth, tarsus, forelimb, hindlimb, hand, foot, and general appearance; and drawings of a third example showing profile, open mouth, dorsal view of head, forearm, and foot. Measurements of these last two frogs were made, along with color descriptions from life. Five other specimens were examined and briefly described in my notes.
