in the paratype); snout subacuminate, longer than the diameter of 

 the eye; can thus rostrahs ill defined; loreal region concave, almost 

 vertical; nostril nearer tip of snout than eye; interorbital space much 

 broader than upper eyelid; tympanum fairly distinct (rather indis- 

 tinct in the paratype), a bit less than half the diameter of the eye; 

 digital disks small, disk of third finger about a third the diameter of 

 the tympanum (about half in the paratype) ; fu'st finger shorter than 

 second; first toe shorter than second, toes un webbed; two metatarsal 

 tubercles; the tibio-tarsal articulation of the adpressed hind limb 

 reaches the tympanum (reaches the posterior corner of the eye in the 

 paratype); smooth above and below; a large diamond-shaped gland 

 on each flank just in front of the hind limb; also an elongate gland 

 on the rear of each femur, occupying about half its length and begin- 

 ning near the knee, and, in addition to these, four more or less oval 

 ill defined glands, two on each side, in front of, and near, the insertion 

 of the fore limb (only the glands near the hind limb are discernible 

 in the juvenile paratype). 



^^ Coloration in alcohol. — Whitish brown or w^hitish above, marked 

 with brown; a dark brown streak beginning at the tip of the snout, 

 extending across the loreal region, tlirough the eye, and along the 

 side to the hind limb, this line becoming fainter and more broken 

 posteriorly; a broad dorso-median brown band, darker on the edges, 

 extending about half the length of the body, beginning about on a 

 hue with the eyes; a short dorso-lateral brown streak on each side 

 between the median and lateral markings, joining or nearly joining 

 posteriorly the lateral streak; elsewhere on dorsum brown markings, 

 these rather irregularly placed; most of rear sm-face of femur dark 

 brown; a narrow white dorso-median line, beginning at the tip of the 

 snout, becoming obsolete posteriorly; a similar line on the rear of 

 each femur and on the rear of each tarsus, which latter is also marked 

 with dark brown; below white, dotted with dark brown, especially on 

 the under side of femur; upper lip white; glands not differently marked. 



"The coloration of the paratype is essentially the same as that of 

 the type, the more important differences being that the short dorso- 

 lateral streaks are absent, the head is darker above, and the femoral, 

 dorso-median, and tarsal white lines are rather faint, and the broad 

 dorso-median streak is rather ill defined.
