hinder edge of the choanse. Snout once and one third as long as 

 the orbital diameter, with angular canthus rostralis and concave 

 lorcal region ; interorbital space a little narrower than the upper 

 eyelid ; crown flat ; tympanum half the diameter of the eye. Fin- 

 gers moderate, flrst shorter than second ; toes moderate, slightly 

 webbed ; disks of fingers large, of toes moderate ; subarticular tuber- 

 cles well developed ; a small inner, and a rather indistinct outer 

 metatarsal tubercle. The hind limb being carried forwards along 

 the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reuelics nearly the tip of the 

 snout. Skin with short glandular folds above, smooth beneath, ex- 

 cept on the lower belly and under the thighs ; a fold above the tym- 

 panum ; upper eyelid with a conical tubercle. Olive above, marbled 

 with darker ; a rather indistinct lighter lateral streak beginning

Tongue with a conical papilla in the anterior part of the median

 hinder edge of the choanaj. Snout as long as the orbital diameter, 

 with angular canthus rostralis and concave loreal region ; interorbital 

 space a little narrower than the upper eyelid ; tympanum two thirds 

 the width of the eye. Fingers moderate, first extending as far as 

 second ; toes slender, with a rudimentary web ; disks very small ; 

 subarticular tubercles much developed ; two metatarsal tubercles. 

 The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal
