 a tarsal fold ; inner metatarsal tubercle flat, less than |- the length 

 of the inner toe ; no outer tubercle. 



Skin of upper surface exceedingly rough, even on the upper

 very concave ; nostril a little nearer the tip of the snout than 

 the eye ; distance between the nostrils equal to the interorbital 

 width or that of the upper eyelid ; tympanum very distinct, about 

 f the diameter of the eye, 2\ times its distance from the latter. 



Fingers long and slender, with a slight dermal border, the 

 tips dilated into moderately large discs with a groove separating 

 the upper from the lower surface, as long as broad and measuring 

 f the diameter of the tympanum ; first finger as long as the
