Vomerine teeth in short oblique groups between or just behind 

 the choanae, which are unusually small, nearer to each other than 

 to the latter. 



Head a little broader than long, much depressed ; snout round- 

 ed, feebly projecting beyond the mouth, as long as the eye ; can- 

 thus rostralis obtuse ; loreal region feebly oblique, concave ; 

 nostril a little nearer the eye than the end of the snout ; distance 

 between the nostrils a little greater than the width of the inter- 

 orbital space, which equals that of the upper eyelid ; tympanum 

 verv' indistinct, 5- to ^ the diameter of the eye, 5 to once its dis- 

 tance from the latter. 



Fingers very long, with very large discs, broader than long, 

 bearing a groove separating ths upper from the lower surface and 

 another above, corresponding to the long transv^erse limb of the 

 terminal phalanx ; first finger shorter than the second, the tip 

 merely swollen, third 2-J to 2| times as long as the snout : sub- 

 articular tubercles moderate. 



Hind limb long, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaching beyond 

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

 are folded at right angles to the body ; tibia 4 to 4^ times as long 

 as broad, \\ to if times in length from snout to vent, shorter than 

 the fore limb, longer than the foot. Toes with large discs similar 

 to those of the fingers but considerably smaller, completely webbed, 

 the web feebly notched and involving the base of the discs ; 

 outer metatarsals separated to the base ; subarticular tubercles 

 moderate ; no tarsal fold ; inner metatarsal tubercle oval or 

 elliptic, flat, I to f the length of the inner toe ; no outer tubercle. 



Skin smooth above, with small granules on the sides and
