 series between the choanae ; tongue not quite one-half the width of mouth- 

 opening, rounded, its posterior border entirely free and with a small 

 but deep notch; snout short and rounded when seen from above, 

 sloping forwards in profile, the upper jaw scarcely projecting beyond 

 the lower; nostrils superolateral, not projecting, situated at the tip 

 of the snout, separated from each other by an interval equal to then- 

 distance from eye. Canthus rostralis very bluntly rounded; loreal 

 region flat, sloping. Eye large and prominent, anterolateral, its 

 diameter IK times its distance from nostril; interorbital diameter 

 nearly equal to width of upper eyelid, equal to interval between nos-

 their tips not dilated, first, second and fourth subequal, extending to

 hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches slightly beyond axiha; when limbs 

 are laid along the sides, knee and elbow fail to meet; when hiud legs 

 are bent at right angles to body, heels are widely separated. Skin 

 of upper parts heavily granular, with two small bean-shaped glands 

 just behind the eye, followed by a larger pear-shaped parotoid which 

 extends to the middle of the back on a level with the axillae; a long, 

 heavy gland on the upper part of the tibia; no supratympanic ridge; 

 a few flat, round glands just behind the tympanic area; venter heavily
