toe. Palms with two obscure tubercles; soles, each with a large 

 and a small tubercle. 



Green above, with more or less perfect series of pale mar- 

 gined oval black spots on the back, and with the legs spotted 

 and banded with black. White or yellowish white beneath. 

 Margin of the upper lip pale or green, with a dark band above 

 the pale margin, often including spots of pale, extending pos- 

 teriorly to the angle of the mouth. Above the dark stripe is a 

 pale one which extends from near the tip of the snout posteri- 

 orly and passes upon the glandular fold, which is pale to its 

 posterior extremity. An obscure dark band extends from the 

 nostril to the eye, but is often interrupted, or may be repre- 

 sented by a black spot over the nostril only. Pupil of the 

 eye black, iris golden. Tympanum brown, with a pale spot in 

 its center. The head above is marked with three large spots of 

 about equal size ; one of these lies on the middle line just in 

 advance of the eyes, the other two lie one above each eye. 

 Between the glandular folds of the back are two longitudinal 

 series of oblong and oval black spots, with about four or live 

 spots in each series. Generally there are several extra spots 

 between the series. The glandular folds of the back are yellow. 

 Immediately below the folds is a series of large black spots, 

 and beneath these are several large spots and a number of 

 smaller round black spots of irregular size. Anterior legs 

 spotted with black above, and constantly with a black dash on 

 the base of the humerus. Posterior legs with black transverse 

 bars above and with a few spots between the bands at the mar- 

 gins; sometimes only spotted. Posterior surface of femora 

 vermiculate or spotted with black. Posterior surface of the 

 tarsi with a more or less perfect black longitudinal band. Body 

 beneath pale yellow or white, with a few small spots near the 

 angle of the mouth, and sometimes with the lower lip and sides 

 of the throat dusky.
