 the snout than the eye ; distance between the nostrils equal to or 

 greater than the interorbital width, which is equal to or a little 

 less than that of the upper eyelid ; tympanum ver\' distinct, I 

 to i the diameter of the eye and 3 to 4 times its distance from 

 the latter. 



Fingers long and slender, sometimes with a narrow dermal

 overlapping when the limbs are folded at right angles to the body ; 

 tibia 3^ to 4 times as long as broad, 2 to 2\ times in length from 

 snout to vent, much shorter than the fore limb, as long as or 

 slightly longer or shorter than the foot. Toes ending in well- 

 developed discs, similar to but a little larger than those of the 

 fingers, the web reaching the discs of the third and fifth, two 

 phalanges of fourth free : outer metatarsals separated nearly to the 

 base; subarticular tubercles moderately large, prominent; no 

 tarsal fold ; inner metatarsal tubercle oval or elliptic, ■ the length 

 of the inner ; a round outer tubercle. 



Skin of upper parts smooth or with a few scattered small

 two glandules. Lower parts smooth.
