Tongue oval, slightly nicked behind. Vomerine teeth in two 

 small oblique series behind the choana3. Snout subacuminate, as 

 long as the orbital diameter ; nostril much nearer the tip of the 

 snout than the eye ; interorbital space broader than the upper eye- 

 lid ; tympanum distinct, two thirds the diameter of the eye. Tips 

 of lingers and toes scarcely dilated. The hind limb being carried 

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

 the tip of the snout. Skin smooth. Four varieties of colour are 

 distinguished by Cope. The present specimen is greyish, marbled 

 with brown ; sides of head and of front part of body, and a cross bar
