212 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. XX, 



Fingers moderately long, with rather large discs about f the 

 diameter of the e3'e, first longer than the second. 



Tibio-tarsal articulation reaching between eye and tip of 

 snout ; heels slightly overlapping ; tibia 2]. times in length from 

 snout to vent. Toes about f webbed, the discs a little smaller 

 than those of the fingers ; subarticular tubercles small, prominent ; 

 a tarsal fold ; inner metatarsal tubercle flat, less than |- the length 

 of the inner toe ; no outer tubercle. 



Skin of upper surface exceedingly rough, even on the upper 

 eyelids and on the sides of the head, the large tubercles wrinkled 

 radially from a central prominence and surrounded concentrically 

 by smaller tubercles Lower surface finely granulate, except the 

 posterior side of the thigh, which is coarsely so.

Vomerine teeth in short oblique series between the choanae, a 

 little nearer to each other than to the latter. 



Head as long as broad, much depressed ; snout rounded, feebly 

 projecting beyond the mouth, as long as or slightlj^ longer than 

 the eye ; canthus rostralis distinct ; loreal region feebly oblique, 

 very concave ; nostril a little nearer the tip of the snout than 

 the eye ; distance between the nostrils equal to the interorbital 

 width or that of the upper eyelid ; tympanum very distinct, about 

 S the diameter of the e5'e, 2j times its distance from the latter. 



Fingers long and slender, with a slight dermal border, the 

 tips dilated into moderately large discs with a groove separating 

 the upper from the lower surface, as long as broad and measuring 

 f the diameter of the tympanum ; first finger as long as the 

 second, third much longer than the snout ; subarticular tubercles 

 rather large, very prominent. 



Hind limb long and slender, the tibio-tarsal articulation 

 reaching far beyond the tip of the snout, the heels strongly over- 

 lapping when the limbs are folded at right angles to the body ; tibia 

 5|- to 6 times as long as broad, i^ to if times in length from 

 snout to vent, a little shorter than the fore limb, longer than the 

 foot. Toes with discs similar to but smaller than those of the 

 fingers, webbed to the discs of the third and fifth, two phalanges 

 of fourth free ; outer metatarsals separated nearly to the base ; 

 subarticular tubercles rather small, prominent ; no tarsal fold ; 

 inner metatarsal tubercle oval, feebly prominent, ^ the length of
