This species agrees in nearly aU its characters with Ps. paradoxa, 

 but is at once distinguished by its much smaller size, our specimen 

 being only one-sixth of the size of a young Ps. paradoxa which has 

 not quite lost the tail. Above brown, with darker spots ; beUy 

 white, with some small irregular brown spots ; inner side of legs 

 with waved brown longitudinal bands ; two white streaks on each 

 side as mentioned. Vomerine teeth in a nearly uninterrupted 

 straight hue. On each side of the tongue u long cleft for two sepa- 

 rated internal subgular vocal sacs (perhaps united in full-grown 

 specimens). Length from the snout to anus 1"; hinder foot twice 

 as long as body.
