Very similar to the preceding. Head uneven above, 1^ to H times 

 as long as deep, its depth equal to the distance between the anterior 

 border of the eye and the tympanum, its length about 3| times in 

 length to vent in the male, 4| times in the female ; snout obtusely 

 pointed, as long as postocular part of head or slightly longer ; cheeks 

 strongly swollen in the male. Pileus 2^ to 2i times as long as broad. 

 Neck narrower than the head. The hind limb reaches the axil in 

 the male, the elbow of the adpressed fore limb in the female. Foot a 

 little longer than head ; digits rather thick and feebly compressed 

 distally. Tail cylindrical, a little depressed at the base. 



Nostril pierced between four shields. Suture between the nasals 

 not half the length of the frontonasal, which is broader than long and 

 broader than the internarial space ; prefrontals forming an extensive 

 suture ; frontal as long as broad (adult), shorter than its distance 

 from the nasals, nearly twice as bi-oad as the supraoculars ; parietals 

 1^ times as long as broad, not in contact with the upper postocular ; 

 occipital as long as and broader than the interparietal, fully |- the 

 width of the frontal. Four supraoculars, first and fourth small, 

 second and third equal ; 6 to 8 superciliaries, suture between first and 

 second slightly oblique; a series of 8 to 11 granules betAveen the 

 supraoculars and the superciliaries.
