Of rather slender habit. Head elongate, with the snout somewhat pointed, and with the 

 canthus rostralis rounded; upper jaw prominent beyond the lower; loreal region longitudi- 

 nally concave ; eye rather large, larger in circumference than the tympanum. Limbs mode- 

 rately slender ; disks of the fingers and toes not well developed ; fingers long, the first and 

 fourth nearly equal in length, and somewhat longer than the second. The length of the 

 body is rather more than the distance of the vent from the heel ; toes of moderate length, 

 the length of the fourth being scarcely more than one-half of that of the body ; the inter- 

 digital membrane is broad, extending to the tip of the fifth and third toes ; metatarsus with 

 a small tubercle at the base of the first toe. Skin smooth : a glandular fold runs from the 

 hinder angle of the orbit, along each side of the back ; a second commences between the 

 tympanum and the angle of the mouth ; it is interrupted above the humeral joint, and con- 

 tiruied along each side of the belly. Ground-colour olive-green during life, changing into a 

 reddish-olive in preserved specimens. The two glandular folds on each side and the margin 

 of the upper lip are white ; hind limbs punctulated with brown. 



This species belongs to the fauna of the Archipelago, being found in Sumatra, Java, and

 continent it has been found hitherto only in the Malayan Peninsula and on the south coast 

 of Siam. 



Length of the body 2 inches 8 lines, of the hind limb 4 inches 7 lines, of the fourth toe 

 1 inch 5 lines.
