 the tympanum; fh'st finger shorter than second; first toe shorter than 

 second; toes distinctly webbed at the base, the web also extending up 

 the side of each digit as a dermal margin; two metatarsal tubercles;

"Head considerably broader than long, broader than the body; 

 snout short, obtuse, its length equal to the interorbital space; can thus

 slightly; heels overlapping when legs are placed vertically to the 

 body; nostrils closer to the end of the snout than to the eye; tympanum 

 distinct, sm.all, separated from the border of the eye by its own diam-
