orbital space ; tympanum equal to two- thirds the diameter of the eye, 

 its distance from the eye equal to two-thirds its own diameter; disks 

 of fingers rounded, moderate in size, that of the third finger covering

 no webs between fingers or toes ; disks of toes very slightly larger than 

 those of fingers, and definitely pointed at the tips; first toe reaching

 tubercles well developed, two metatarsal tubercles, the outer small, 

 the inner very pronounced and larger than the largest toe disk; no 

 large plantar tubercles; no tarsal fold; femur moderate; the limbs 

 being pressed along the sides, the knee and elbow considerably over- 

 lap; the hindlimb being extended forward, the heel reaches slightly 

 beyond the tip of the snout; hindlimbs being placed vertically to 

 axis of body, the heels greatly overlap; an interrupted series of 

 elongate glands beginning at the posterior corner of the eye, continu- 

 ing above the tympanum, and fading out on the side between axilla 

 and groin; a very faint middorsal gland; skin above shagreened 

 with pustules and short glandular ridges, more evident on posterior 

 parts, less distinct anteriorly; throat, chest, belly, and anterior femur

 margins of the tympanum ; two or three scattered brown spots above 

 the axilla bordering the glandular lateral line below; some faint gray 

 suffusions on the posterior part of the back; pale gray crossbars on
