Vomerine teeth between the wide choanx, nearer to their hind margin; they 
form generally a transverse series slightly interrupted in the middle, or each of the 
two halves may be slightly arched. Snout broad, short, obtuse, not depressed, with 
indistinct canthus, and sloping concave sides. Distance of the nostril from the eye 
equal to the diameter of the latter. Interorbital space wider than the upper eyelid. 
Tympanum distinct, about one-half the area of the eye, but smaller in specimens 
with a glandular skin, and sometimes larger in such as have the glands but little 
developed. ‘The three outer fingers one-half or one-third webbed; their disks equal 
those of the toes, and are generally of the same size as the tympanum. No external 
rudiment of a pollex. Toes three-fourths webbed, with strong subarticular tubercles ; 
no tarsal fold. Upper parts generally tubercular and glandular; a fold above the 
tympanum often assumes the appearance of a parotoid, suppressing portion of the 
tympanum ; no fold on the side or above the vent; folds across the chest or throat; 
no appendage at the heel. Lower parts, including the throat, coarsely granular. In 
some specimens the skin of the upper parts is nearly smooth. Back brownish, generally 
with large, subsymmetrical, dark patches, more or less confluent into a pair of longi- 
tudinal bands, sharply defined against a lighter lateral band; hind limbs with broad
