Cope.T ^1" [Oct. 1, 



are a little posterior to the line connecting the posterior border of the 

 nares. The latter are about as large as the ostia pharyngea. 



The dorsolateral glandular ridge is thick and extends a little beyond the 

 sacral diapophysis. There are six or seven rows of short longitudinal 

 glandular tubercles in the space between them. There are similar elongate 

 warts on the sides. The posterior and posteroinferior faces of the femora 

 finely granular; rest of the inferior surfaces smooth. 



The first finger is longer than the second and equals the fourth. The 

 heel of the extended hind leg reaches to the middle of the eye. The foot 

 is of moderate length. Three of the phalanges of the fourth digit are en- 

 tirely free, and the web is excavated to opposite the middle of the 

 first phalange, extending as a margin on each side of the distal 

 half. The inner cuneiform tubercle is not large and has an acute apex ; 

 no external tubercle. A slightly defined tarsal dennal ridge. 



In alcohol the ground color is light brown, with the dorsolateral ridge 

 and the inferior surfaces straw-color. The spots are a dark brown, and 

 do not appear to have been yellow bordered. The dorsal spots are irregu- 

 larly rounded, and are in three or four longitudinal rows. There are two 

 rows on the top of the muzzle and head, crossing the inner edge of the 

 eyelid. There are two spots near the external edge of each eyelid. Spots 

 on the sides smaller, in about four rows. The lores and upper lips are 

 rather coarsely marbled with brown ; gular region faintly speckled with 

 the same. No band, but a spot on the front of the humerus ; a spot on 

 the elbow, and three cross lines on the fore arm. Four narrow cross lines 

 on the femur, and five across the tibia. Three cross bars on the ex- 

 ternal face of the fifth toe. The posterior face of the femur has numer- 

 ous rounded brown spots on a light ground.
