THE

BATRACHIA AND REPTILIA

COSTA RICA.

ATLAS.

PHILADELPHIA, APRIL, 1877.

NOTE.

The letterpress of this memoir was published in an edition of fifty copies,
Nov. 26, 1875. The principal edition will appear in the Journal of the Academy
of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, which has not yet been issued, in consequence
of the delay in the completion of the plates. These are now published, completing
the separate memoir.

March 20th, 1877.
