THE HERPETOLOGY OF HISPANIOLA 65 



rather small, slightly oblique groups behind, and for the most part 

 between, the choanae (vomerine teeth indefinable in one paratype); 

 snout subacuminate, short, longer than the diameter of the eye; 

 canthus rostralis rounded, indistinct; loreal region concave and rather 

 oblique; nostril nearer tip of snout than eye; interorbital space about 

 as broad as the upper eyelid; tympanum distinct, two thirds the 

 diameter of the eye (about three quarters in the smaller paratypes; 

 two tliirds in the largest paratype, no. 21,573); digital disks feebly 

 developed; disk of third finger about one third as large as the tym- 

 panum (about one third to one quarter in the paratypes) ; first finger 

 shorter than second; first toe much shorter than second; toes practi- 

 cally unwebbed at base; two metatarsal tubercles; the tibio-tarsal 

 articulation of the adpressed hind limb reaches to the posterior 

 corner of the eye (reaches from posterior to anterior corner of eye in 

 paratypes) ; finely granular above; smooth below. 



'^Coloration in alcohol. — Dark brown above ; front of humerus grayish, 

 mottled with lighter brown ; upper side and rear of femur brown, lighter 

 than dorsal ground color; limbs cross-banded, both above and below, 

 with dark browTi or black, even darker than the dorsal groimd color; 

 a gray interorbital band; lips brown, marked with dark vertical bands, 

 some of which enter the eye; below brown, minutely punctulated with 

 white, and spotted with darker brown; lower lips dark brown \vith 

 narrow light vertical bands; proxhnal half of anterior face of femur 

 white, this color also extenduig onto the side of the belly and occupy- 

 ing about as large an area there as on the femur; also a white area on 

 the ventral surface of the tibia. 



"The paratypes are similar in coloration to the type, but some are 

 so much darker above that the cross-bands on the limbs are obsolete 

 in places. Also the interorbital bar and the light coloration of the 

 humerus of the type are lacking. In addition, the white tibial area is 

 wanting or reduced. The white femoral area in some may be some- 

 what obscured by brown mottling.
