 third much longer than the snout ; subarticular tubercles large and 

 very prominent. 



Hind limb long and rather slender ; tibio-tarsal articulation 

 reaching the tip of the snout, heels strongly overlapping when the 

 limbs are folded at right angles to the body ; tibia 5 to 5I times as 

 long as broad, about if times in length from snout to vent, shorter 

 than the fore limb, a little longer than the foot. Toes ending in 

 well-developed discs, similar to those of the fingers ; web reaching 

 the discs of the third and fifth, two phalanges of fourth free ; outer 

 metatarsals separated nearly to the base ; subarticular tubercles

Nasal bones narrow, oblique, widely separated from each

Eggs 2 millim. in diameter.
