converging series, beginning on anterior inner edge of choane,

distance from eye to nostril; canthus rostralis rounded, the 
area about nostrils forming two small rounded prominences, 
with a slight depression between them; forehead not concave; 
lores concave, sloping obliquely ; snout somewhat triangular, con- 
stricted in front of nostrils, forming a distinct ‘“‘nose;’’ diameter 
of tympanum equal to, or a little more than, half diameter of 
eye, very close to orbit, the distance separating them about one- 
fifth to one-sixth diameter of tympanum; distance of nostril to 
end of snout contained one and one-half times in its distance 
from eye; a very distinct skin fold from eye to arm above tym- 
panum; skin rough, tubercular, or warty, especially on head, 
snout, and shoulders, and on sides of head about tympanum;

panum; first finger shorter than second, fourth longer than sec- 
ond, reaching terminal disk of third; subdigital tubercles prom- 
inent; a very slight skin fold from base of third finger along 
inner arm; toes more than three-fourths webbed, the webs reach-

than those on fingers; third and fifth toes of equal length; inner 
metatarsal tubercle well developed, outer indistinct or wanting; 
a decided, undulous skin fold along outer side of fifth toe and 
tarsus, and on outer part of forearm; two small cutaneous
