veloped; subarticular tubercles moderate; toes webbed only at the 

 base, slightly fringed, their tips also in ball-like disks, third toe longer 

 than fifth, reaching halfway to base of penultimate phalanx of fourth 

 which is moderately long; subarticular tubercles small but distinct; 

 an oval inner and a small round outer metatarsal tubercle; a very 

 slight tarsal ridge; body broadly elliptical in shape, in postaxillary 

 region equal to greatest width of head; when hind leg is adpressed, 

 heel reaches center of eye; when limbs are laid along the sides, knee 

 and elbow touch; when hind legs are bent at right angles to body, 

 heels are separated. Skin of top of head and back heavily tubercular, 

 less granular on upper limb surfaces; a diagonal dermal ridge from 

 posterior corner of eye to angle of mouth; a small round inguinal 

 gland; ventral surface minutely granular, the granules more prominent 

 on posterior surface of femur. No skinfold across the chest. No 

 external vocal sac. 



Dimensions. — Head and body 42.5 mm..; head length 17 mm., 

 ^vidth 18.5 mm.; femur 19 mm.; tibia 18.5 mm.; foot 20 mm,; hand 

 10.5 mm. 



Color in alcohol. — The cotype has faded to a uniform buff without 

 traces of any pattern. Some topotypes, taken in March 1934, still 

 retain their color pattern. One of these, USNM 96743, is uniform seal 

 brown above, with a few^ of the tubercles tipped with pale gray, these 

 seeming to occur in short diagonal lines along the dorsolateral region. 

 The limbs are also seal brown, the femur nearly immaculate except for 

 a few small scattered gray dots on its upper surface, the tibia with 

 gray spots arranged in crossbars. The ventral region is a pale sepia 

 with white dots on the chest and a darker reticulation on the throat. 

 The last phalanx of each toe and finger is almost white, with a small 

 black spot on top of each ball-shaped disk.
