GROUP SECOND.

We shall take, to characterize this group, the _Argozoum_, from

_arges_, _swift_, _winged_.

Of this genus there are two species, the larger of which is the

ARGOZOUM DISPARIDIGITATUM. It is leptodactylous, and remarkable for

the length of the middle toe. We have another species, which is

smaller than the last named, and in which the toes are nearly of equal

length; hence called ARGOZOUM PARIDIGITATUM.

The other genus of this group is the PLATYPTERNA, and our specimen

is named _Deaniana_. This genus is remarkable for the width of the

heel; hence the name, from _platys_, _broad_, and _pterna_, _a heel_.

It has three toes like the other genera of this group.
