the hinder edge of the choanae. Habit stout. Head much broader 

 than long ; snout very short, broadly rounded ; no canthus ros- 

 tralis; nostril a little nearer to the eye than to the end of the snout ; 

 interorbital space narrower than the upper eyelid; tympanum 

 rather indistinct, about half the diameter of the eye. lingers 

 moderate, first not extending beyond second ; toes slightly swollen 

 at the end, entirely webbed ; a very feeble tarsal fold ; subarticular 

 tubercles not much developed ; inner metatarsal tubercle oval, not 

 prominent, not quite half the length of the inner toe ; no outer 

 tubercle. The tibio-tarsal articulation hardly reaches the eye; 

 tibia not measuring half the distance from snout to Vent. Upper 

 surfaces smooth or with small warts ; sides warty. Olive-brown 

 above, uniform or freckled with darker ; limbs without transverse 

 bauds ; lower parts whitish, throat and limbs mottled with brown. 

 Male with internal vocal sacs ; breeding-male with the arms very 

 much thickened, and with black asperities on the breast and on the 

 two inner fingers. 



From snout to vent 3*3 inches.

Vomerine teeth in two small oblique groups extending beyond 

 the hinder edge of the choanae. Habit stout. Head much broader 

 than long; snout very short, broadly rounded; no canthus rostralis; 

 nostril a little nearer to the eye than to the end of the snout ; 

 interorbital space narrower than the upper eyelid ; tympanum 

 distinct, three fifths the diameter of the eye. Fingers moderate, 

 first extending beyond second ; toes rather short, entirely webbed ; 

 subarticular tubercles moderate ; tips of fingers and toes obtuse ; 

 inner metatarsal tubercle narrow, elongate, three fifths the length 

 of the inner toe ; no outer tubercle ; a narrow fold along the inner 

 edge of the tarsus. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the eye ; 

 tibia measuring half the distance from snout to vent. Sides of 

 body warty, large elongate smooth warts being intermixed with 

 small round ones ; posterior part of upper eyelid warty ; a fold 

 from the eye to the shoulder. Olive-brown above, with rather 

 indistinct darker spots and a blackish, white-edged ocellus at the 

 hip-joint ; interrupted cross bands on the limbs ; lower parts 

 dirty white. Male with internal vocal sacs; arms, during the 

 breeding-season, extremely thickened ; a patch of black spines on 

 each side of the breast and others on the inner rnetacarpal tubercle 

 and the inner side of the two inner fingers; the arrangement of 

 these nuptial excrescences very similar to that in R. liebigii, in 

 which species, however, they are also present on the inner side of 

 the arms. 



From snout to vent 3-5 inches.
