 nostril equidistant from eye and tip of the snout, or nearer to

 equal to the width of the eye. Disks of fingers small, of toes as

 a smaller, round outer metatarsal tubercle; no tarsal fold; the heel 

 reaches to between the anterior border of the eye and the 

 tip of the snout or beyond ; tibia about '/ 2 to 2 / 3 the length 

 of head and body; when the hind limbs are folded at right 

 angles to the body, the heels are strongly overlapping.

 fold and a glandular fold from below the eye to the shoulder, 

 sometimes followed by one or two glandules; sometimes a 

 few scattered warts on back and sides; smooth below.

 in the young) continued into a black streak along the side 

 of the body, bordered above by the often light-coloured dorso- 

 lateral fold; sides rarely reticulated with blackish; tympanum 

 usually reddish brown ; a narrow light vertebral line, and another 

 light line along the tibia may be present; often a white streak 

 along the upper lip, continued to the shoulder; limbs with
