Description of type—Vomerine teeth in two small, slightly 
diagonal, rounded series between choanz, posteriorly separated 
from choane by a distance much greater than the length of 
a single series, and from each other by a distance less than half 
of a single series; distance between openings of Eustachian tubes 
less than their distance from choanz; distance between choane 
equals distance between nostrils; head longer than wide, snout 
protruding slightly; eyes very large and protruding; diameter 
about one-fourth or one-fifth longer than snout; nostril nearer 
tip of snout than eye; tympanum quite distinct, its diameter 
about half of eye, separated from eye by a distance equal to 
one-third of its diameter; canthus rostralis distinct, roundly an- 
gular, the loreal region nearly vertical, the lores concave; width of 
upper eyelid little more than one and one-third times interorbital 
distance; skin of body above and below entirely smooth; a few 
granules on posterior aspect of thigh and about anal region; 
no dorsolateral fold; no fold above tympanum; digits slender, 
tips of fingers and toes dilated into small disks with grooves 
around their edges; first finger extending as far as, or very 
slightly farther than, second, both but slightly shorter than 
fourth, which just fails to reach base of disk on third; sub- 
articular tubercles well developed, as are the carpal tubercles; 
first finger with nuptial swellings; toes about two-thirds webbed, 
the membrane failing to reach disks but approaching nearest 
on second toe; third and fifth toes of nearly equal length; sub- 
articular tubercles strong; an elongate, inner metatarsal tubercle 
more than one-third the length of first toe; a rounded, fairly 
prominent, outer metatarsal tubercle; disks rather pointed at 
tips; tibiotarsal articulation reaches anterior edge of eye or 
slightly farther; a distinct oval gland on inner side of upper 
arm; males with internal vocal sacs, the openings rather far 
back on either side of tongue. 
Color in life-——Above olive to chestnut brown, with numerous 
indistinct darker fiecks and spots; sides slightly darker and 
rather thickly spotted; limbs with spots or bars; dusky brown
