keeled, broadly in contact with the upper labials; supralabials nine, 

 the last three very small, the suture between the fifth and sixth 

 coming directly below the center of the eye; temporal granules 

 perceptibly smaller than the dorsals, with a rather poorly marked 

 double series of small scales forming the supratemporal line; back 

 and sides covered with granules, the dorsals a little larger and flatter, 

 the laterals smaller and more tubercular; no conspicuously enlarged 

 series of median dorsal scales ; ventrals small, smooth, highly imbricate, 

 almost rectangular, each scale being broader than long; throat 

 covered with small flat granules; forelegs covered with small smooth 

 granular scales, about four series on the anterior face of the lower 

 arm being greatly enlarged, more than twice as large as the largest 

 ventrals; anterior scales of femur and tibia smooth, similarly enlarged,

gradually diminishing posteriorly and below; scales covering hands 

 and feet above enlarged, perfectly smooth; digital expansion wide, 

 about 20 lamellae under second and third phalanges of fourth toe,

 crest with five triangular, keeled, and pointed scales, the fourth the 

 largest and the first the smallest, corresponding to a verticil; skin of 

 gular fan naked, set with distant series of flat rectangular scales a 

 little larger than the ventrals, edge not thickened posteriorly; post- 

 anal scales well developed; a slight nuchal fold losing itself behind
