Color in alcohol. — Upper parts cream-buff to ecru-drab, with numer- 

 ous triangular and chevron-shaped markings (between the glandular 

 ridges) drab to deep fawn color, their margins (glands) narrow and 

 very pale in color; the upper parts of arms and legs similarly cross- 

 banded but the bands on the femur very dark brown, with a continua- 

 tion of the dark brown color upon the groin, and on the posterior 

 lateral region appearing as roundish light-edged spots. A similar 

 postaxillary brown spot. Canthus rostralis narrowly edged by a 

 light-pigmented gland; below this the loreal region, upper lip, and 

 entire side of head and body to axilla are deep drab, immaculate. 

 Ventral surfaces (now badly faded) pale ecru-drab, darker on the legs. 

 A dark anal patch. 



Color in life. — From a color sketch by K. Honorio, no data given. 

 Upper parts of head, back, forearm, tibia, and outer foot cinnamon, 

 with a series of transverse or chevi'on-shaped areas surrounded by 

 narrow light lines, the first of these on the snout, the next between 

 the eyes, and about six following on the back, more or less irregular 

 and broken up, those on the tibia narrow and regular, those on fore- 

 arm and foot wide and far apart; femur pale cinnamon, with three 

 wide, white-edged black bands nearly encircling it; a series of similar 

 light-edged black spots along the sides from axilla to groin, and 

 another series along inside of tarsus and foot; a wide black band 

 beginning on the tip of the snout, continuing along the loreal region 

 and ending behind the axilla as the first lateral spot; posterior part 

 of forearm, webs of fingers and toes, as well as inside of tarsus bright 

 orange-rufous ; ventral surfaces also orange-rufous, the chin dark olive, 

 with an olive reticulation over chest, belly, and lower side of forearms; 

 the heavy black bands partly encircling lower femur and entirely 

 complete on tibia. Iris rufous, the black pupil transversely elliptic. 



Variations. — In USNM 97559 one of the two tubercles on the heel 

 is developed to such an extent that it projects considerably beyond 

 the normal outline of the leg, and begins to resemble a true dermal 

 appendage. The color pattern of dark chevrons edged by light gland- 

 ular ridges remains constant throughout the rather small series at 

 hand, although the ground color of the upper parts varies from a very 

 pale pea green to walnut brown, while the side of the head in the 

 darkest individual is a deep seal brown. In all the recently preserved 

 specimens, the femoral crossbands are a deep clove brown, while the 

 inguinal and axillary spots are hkewise of this shade. In these rela- 

 tively fresh examples, the chin is dark, ranging from mouse gray to 

 seal brown, while the loose skin of the vocal pouch is paler in two of 

 the specimens. The belly shows a fine, brown, reticulated pattern; 

 the lower part of the thighs shows the subdued remnants of the cross- 

 bands; one or two dark but ill-defined longitudinal stripes leave the
