 Vomerine teeth absent; tongue extremely small, about one-third the 

 width of mouth-opening, oval, its free posterior border not indented; 

 snout short and broad, bluntly rounded when seen from above and 

 in profile, the upper jaw projecting only slightly beyond the lower; 

 nostrils superior, their distance from end of snout about two-fifths 

 their distance from eye, separated from each other by an interval 

 equal to their distance from eye, Canthus rostralis not evident, the 

 entire region bluntly rounded, with only a small diagonal furrow be- 

 hind the nostril marking the loreal region. Eye moderate in size, 

 fairly prominent, its diameter about equal to that of the short snout; 

 interorbital diameter equal to that of upper eyelid, equal to interval 

 between the nostrils. Tympanum not visible. Fingers moderately 

 long, free, ridged but not fringed, not enlarged into disks, second a 

 little longer than first and equal to fourth; metacarpal tubercles large 

 and well developed; subarticular tubercles of hands and feet very 

 pronounced; a row of two or three very indistinct antebrachial tuber- 

 cles; toes free, with narrow but very distinct lateral fringes, without 

 disks, third much longer than fifth, reaching neai"ly to base of penulti- 

 mate phalanx of fourth; a pair of very pronounced shovellike meta- 

 tarsal tubercles nearly equal in size; a small but sharp tarsal tubercle 

 but no heel tubercle; a large flattened inguinal gland, its greatest 

 diameter about twice that of eye. Body stout and toadlike, in 

 postaxillary region wider than greatest width of head, which occurs 

 behind the tympanic area; when hind legs are adpressed, heel reaches 

 to front of shoulder; when limbs are laid along the body, knee and 

 elbow are widely separated; when hind legs are bent at right angles 

 to body, heels just fail to meet. Skin of upper parts everyivhere 

 finely glandular, with numerous low flat tubercles on back and between
