separated from the supraorbital semicircles and from the superciliaries 

 by one row of somewhat smaller scales; can thus rostralis strongly 

 projecting over the loreal region, and covered by four sharply keeled 

 scales succeeded by two others on the anterior superciliary border, the 

 last of this series much the longest and not followed by any differen- 

 tiated scales; loreal rows tliree, the five scales of the subocular semi- 

 circle very elongate, broadly in contact with the upper labials, the 

 first three heavily keeled, the fifth small; supralabials nine, the suture 

 between the seventh and eighth commg directly beneath the center 

 of the eye; temporal granules about equal to the dorsals, with a rather 

 indistinctly differentiated patch of larger ones formmg the sux^ra- 

 temporal line; back and sides covered with bluntly tubercular granules, 

 those of the four median dorsal rows with somewhat larger and more 

 elongate granules which seem to have traces of a keel, about 40 to 45

 hands and feet above enlarged, multicarinate ; digital expansion wide, 

 about 29 lamellae under the second and third phalanges, about 45 

 under the whole toe ; tail fairly long, round, the median scales enlarged 

 but not crested ; the laterals arranged in well-marked verticils composed 

 of about four vertical rows of polygonal, keeled scales followed by a 

 final row of larger scales and topped by five of the enlarged median 

 scales; the scales beneath the tail considerably enlarged and heavily 

 keeled; skin of the gular fan naked, set with distant rows of diamond-
