Yomcrine teeth in two oblique series, commenciug on a level 



with the hinder edge of the choauas. Head moderate ; snout short, 



rounded; lorcal region vertical, concave; interorbital space as 



broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum distinct, about half the 



width of the eye. Fingers moderate, depressed, first extending 



slightly beyond second; toes naoderate, broadly webbed; tips of 



fingers and toes dilated into large disks, that of the third finger as 



large as the tympanum ; subarticular tubercles large ; a single,

Vomerine teeth in two straight or slightly oblique series behind 

 the choana;. Head moderate ; snout short, rounded ; canthus ros- 

 trahs rounded ; loreal region concave ; interorbital space as broad 

 as the upper eyelid ; tympanum not very distinct, hardly one third 

 the width of the eye. Fingers depressed, first not extending quite 

 so far as second ; toes moderate, entirely webbed ; tips of fingers 

 and toes dilated into very large disks, those of the third and fourth 

 fingers at least twice as large as the tympanum; subarticular 

 tubercles large ; inner metatarsal tubercle elongate, scarcely pro- 

 minent ; a very indistinct outer tubercle. The hind limb'beino- 

 carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches
