Vomerine teeth in two oblique series, commencing on a level 
with the hinder edge of the choanze. Head moderate ; snout short, 
rounded; loreal region vertical, concave; interorbital space as 
broad as the upper eyelid; tympanum distinct, about half the 
width of the eye. Fingers moderate, depressed, first extending 
slightly beyond second; toes moderate, broadly webbed ; tips of 
fingers and toes dilated into large disks, that of the third finger as 
large as the tympanum; subarticular tubercles large; a single, 
’ oval, inner metatarsal tubercle. The hind limb being carried for- 
wards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches beyond 
the tip of the snout. Skin smooth; a glandular fold from beneath 
the eye to the shoulder, followed by a glandule. Upper surface of 
the head and back green, generally with a few black spots; sides of 
head, body, and limbs dark brown, the latter barred across with

Vomerine teeth in two straight or slightly oblique series behind 
the choane. Head moderate ; snout short, rounded ; canthus ros- 
tralis rounded; loreal region concave ; interorbital space as broad 
as the upper eyelid; tympanum not very distinct, hardly one third 
the width of the eye. Fingers depressed, first not extending quite 
so far as second; toes moderate, entirely webbed; tips of fingers 
and toes dilated into very large disks, those of the third and fourth 
fingers at least twice as large as the tympanum; subarticular 
tubercles large; inner metatarsal tubercle elongate, scarcely pro- 
minent ; a very indistinct outer tubercle. The hind limb being 
carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches
