free, toes one-fourth webbed; tips of fingers and toes very feebly 
dilated. The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the 
tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the eye. Skin smooth, or slightly 
tubercular above; a fold from the eye over the tympanum to the 
shoulder; under surface smooth. Uniform brown above; three 
blackish spots, with a white spot in the centre of some, in linear 
series along the side; an oblong black spot on the side of the 
sacrum above the loin; a narrow white line on the middle of the

Snout rounded, its length a little more than the width between 
the eyes; canthus rostralis distinct; nostril nearer the tip of the 
snout than the eye; tympanum distinct, about one third the size of 
the eye. Fingers free, toes less than one-third webbed; disks of 
fingers well developed, of toes smaller; a small inner metatarsal 
tubercle. The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, 
the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches beyond the eye. Back nearly 
smooth, with a few scattered minute tubercles on the sacral region ; 
finely tubercular on the sides and on the under surface of the body 
and thighs; a fold from the eye to the shoulder. Brownish above, 
as far forwards as the anterior angle of the eye, where the brown 
abruptly ceases in a straight line, the upper surface of the snout 
being light olive; upper lip white; a dark-brown band from the 
snout to the tympanum; sides bluish grey, the minute tubercles

much nearer the tip of the snout than the eye; tympanum distinct, 
about one fourth the size of the eye. Fingers free, toes slightly 
webbed; disks of fingers large, of toes smaller. The hind limb 
being carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulatidn
