Eutolype grandis, n. sp.Ground colour an even, smooth, bluish-gray, washed with smoky brown. Head with a little admixture of brownish in front. Collar with a small central brown spot. Patagiac margined with brown. Basal tuft of thorax with an admixture of black scales. Primaries with all the ordinary markings obscured, the most evident Feature being a broad light gray band at inner third outwardly margined by a brownish shade, which is the darkest part of the wing. The basal space is uniformly smoky gray to the t. a. line, which is narrow, geminate, even,a little incurved between the subcostal and submedian veins. The included space is light gray, and light gray shade extends to the rigid median shade, including the orbicular. T. p. line narrow, geminate, denticulate, widely bent over the cell, then with a deep incurve beneath, narrowing the median shade at the inner margin. The entire median space beyond the gray band has a warm brown tint in which the large reniform is obscurely visible as a dull, lead-coloured blotch, outlined by paler gray scales. Beyond the t. p. line the wing is of the same dull gray as at base, interrupted by the diffuse, somewhat irregular s. t. line. There is a dusky line at the base of the fringes, which are alternately black and white marked at their tips. Secondaries smoky brown, much paler at base, and with a darker line at the base of the fringes. Beneath, primaries smoky blackish, powdered with bluish-gray scales in the terminal space, secondaries grayish-white, powdery, with a blackish outer line and discal spot.

♂ . A small frail form with ciliate antennae no ocelli, and long, dependent palpi, their second joint thickly squamous. Fore wings grayish white, with their inner line black, fine, angulated. Outer line denticulate, followed by a pure white shade. A pure white shade in the place of the subterminal. Hind wings dusty white. Beneath the fore wings are pale fuscous, immaculate; hind wings whitish with a discal dot. Expanse 16 m.m. Canada, Mr. Saunders. This species differs decidely from the N. Am. species described by prof. Zeller; I do not find descriptions of N. Am. species in any other author.

A New Species

The frogs of the genus Pristimantis are recognized for their characteristic reproductive mode and for their incredible diversity of species, becoming the genus with the highest number of species within tetrapod vertebrates. We describe here a new species of Pristimantis from the northwestern Andes of Colombia. The species was found between 2000-2500 m.a.s.l., mostly within moss hanging of tree branches in a tropical cloud forest. It can be easily distinguished from other Pristimantis species of the western Andes by the unique black and white patterning in the ventral surface and the flanks, the hourglass-shaped dorsal folds, and the prominent conical tubercles on eyelids, heels, and outer edge of tarsus. A phylogenetic analysis further supports its status of a lineage reciprocally monophyletic to P. satagius and separated by a genetic distance of 0.03; the latter species bear whitish rather than predominantly black ventral coloration. To the best of our knowledge, this species is only known from the 2,500 ha nature reserve Mesenia-Paramillo, despite other research on this area of the country. Therefore, the species is declared vulnerable while new evidence on its distribution range is accumulated.

An examination of some 10,000 tumour-bearing mice appertaining to 240 experiments comprising 24,000 animals has been made to find whether there was any difference in sensitiveness of the skin to our carcinogenic agents, according to colour of coat and eyes. Methods involving only elementary arithmetic have been utilised as we have, unfortunately, no statistical mind on our staff, and thus we have, presumably, failed to derive full benefit from the data available. We have ventured, however, to draw the following tentative conclusions as regards the particular animals under discussion, they being obtained from varied sources:1. Self-coloured animals (excluding pure white) were more sensitive to petroleum oils (weak agents) than the corresponding piebald. (That is, a black was more sensitive than a black and white, etc.)2. When tars (strong agents) were utilised instead of petroleum oils an opposite state of affairs existed, the self-coloured animal being more resistant than its piebald companion. This reversal may be explained on the grounds of cell tolerance.3. Pink-eyed animals (excluding pure white) had a greater all-over sensitiveness of the skin to our agents than pigmented-eye animals.4. On the whole the most sensitive animal was the pink-eyed fawn.5. The frequency of hyaline degeneration of the spleen and marked thyroid enlargement was greater among pink-eyed animals, especially when fawn coloured, than among pigmented-eye animals.
