the sacrum and sides of body ; a narrow median glandular line running 

 from snout to anus, and a series of broken diagonal glandular lines 

 above and behind the ear and on the sides; skin of throat, belly, and 

 under surfaces of limbs smooth ; no external throat folds. 



Dimensions: Snout to vent, 41 mm.; width of head, 15 mm.; diam- 

 eter of eye, 6 mm. ; diameter of tympanum, 3 mm. ; foreleg from axilla, 

 26 mm.; hindleg from vent, 72 mm.; vent to heel, 44 mm. 



Color in alcohol: Dorsum blackish indigo; a gray interocular bar 

 with a black posterior border; indications of wide dark cross bands 

 on the limbs; venter pale olive-buff, with small sepia spots thickly 

 scattered on throat; sides and lower limb surfaces finely spotted, with 

 the exception of the tibia, which has a large immaculate area; center 

 of belly also nearly immaculate. 



Paratype. — One specimen, U.S.N.M. 107565, with the same data 

 as the type. 



Variations. — With only one additional specimen at hand, it is im- 

 possible to predict what the range of variation may be. In comparing 

 the type with the paratype, however, the latter is foimd to vary as 

 follows: The tympanum is smaller, being less than one-half the eye 

 diameter, and is situated at a distance of its own diameter from the 

 eye; the median dorsal glandular line is apparent only for a short 

 distance on the center of the back; the webs at the base of the toes 

 are slightly better developed, and the interocular gray bar is narrower. 

 But this specimen shows the same length of leg as the type, its heel 

 extending appreciably beyond the snout. It measures 35 mm. from 

 snout to vent.
