Bufo terrestris 149 



crest low, extends but slightly on to the body to a vertical just ahead of the 

 buds of the hind legs. Dorsal and ventral crests about equal and about equal 

 to the depth of the musculature. Tail short, tip rounded. Spiracle sinistral, 

 directed mainly backward somewhat upwards, below the lateral axis. Eye 

 above lateral axis. Eyes dorsal, close together, slightly nearer lateral outline 

 than middorsal line. Anus median, opening in a level lower than the lower 

 edge of the ventral crest. Muciferous crypts indistinct. 



Mouth parts: Teeth 2/3. 



Upper labium fringed with a continuous row of labial teeth, the papillae 

 extending only each end of this fringe. The end of the second upper row does 

 not extend beyond the end of the upper fringe. The median space between .the 

 two parts of the second row is contained i. 4-2.1 times the lateral row Horny 

 beak about equal to or slightly less than the 3rd lower labial row of teeth 

 or contained 1.75 times in the upper fringe, or about 1.5 times the first or 

 second row of lower labial teeth, which are about equal. The third row of lower 

 labial teeth may be contained 1.2-1.4 times in the length of the second or first 

 lower lateral row. Rows of papillae at least two very prominent, sometimes 

 3-5 rows at corner of mouth. Lower loop of papillary border very prominent 

 with at least 2 distinct rows of papillae. This loop sometimes extends slightly 

 beneath the end of the third row of teeth. This loop decidedly lower in 

 level than end of the third labial lower row.
