Description. — Since no examples of this species have come to hand, 

 the original description is reproduced here: 



No bony dorsal shield. Skin densely covered with small tubercles unequal in 

 size; the two dorsal lines of tubercles, which are so conspicuous in C. hoiei, are 

 absent on the anterior and middle portions of the back, but represented by two 

 short series commencing in the sacral region and converging into a point above 

 the vent. Supraciliary horn long and pointed. The upperside of the head deeply 

 concave, bordered on each side by a blunt-edged ridge terminating on the occiput, 

 and in front by a rough prominent crest running from the eye to the nostril. 

 Tympanum not visible. The vomerine teeth stand on a rather long transverse 

 ridge slightly interrupted in the middle, between the choauae. Tongue much 

 smaller than in C. hoiei, not covering the bottom of the buccal cavity. Digits 

 rather long, with the tubercles on the lower side much developed; carpus with 

 three ovate flattish tubercles, the middle of which is a little larger than the outer. 

 Metatarsal tubercle long, as long as its distance from the end of the inner toe; 

 third toe rather longer than fifth. Web between the toes very short, but con- 

 spicuous. 



Upper parts brown, indistinctly marbled with darker. The upperside of the 

 snout milk-white, the boundary between the brown and white being marked by 

 a black line. Lower parts white, with irregular brownish-black spots.
