tubercles, three metacarpal. The leg carried forward along the 

 sides of the body, the proximal carpal joint extends slightly 

 beyond the tip of the snout. Skin smooth, with a narrow der- 

 mal fold on sides extending backward from tympanum. 



Tongue large, not deeply notched behind. Width of tongue, 

 \Yl in in its length. No teeth on the vomer. 



Color above dirty slate color, slightly lighter on anterior two-

 under each orbit to arm ; under parts uniform white ; margins of 

 mandible speckled with darker. Upper and hinder portion of 

 thigh with irregular longitudinal white streaks. Legs and arms
