body, swollen in appearance, depressed both above and below, 
cuneate as viewed above, and surface convex. Profile rather 
elongate, rounded, and angle would form about midway in its 
depth. Snout large, depressed, its length about half its width, 
and projecting beyond mandible when closed. Eye small, a little 
long or ellipsoid, directed antero-laterally and lines of upper 
eyelids convex so as not to intersect before reaching tip of snout. 
Eyelids moderately developed, and rather prominent. Mouth 
rather more constricted in convex profle than edge of jaw when 
viewed from below. Gape slightly undulated. Lips rather hard 
and firm, and edges when closed presenting a rather even convex 
surface inferiorly. A single series of small, firm and more or 
less even teeth in each jaw. No palatine teeth, though a 
A Shaped patch of fine ones posteriorly on parasphenoid. Tongue 
ovoid, moderately large, with tip directed anteriorly, surface 
finely papillose, edges free and thin. Internal nares as 2 oblique 
short slits anteriorly approximated, and each giving off an ex- 
ternal groove towards edge of jaw. Space between internal nares 
about equal to bony interorbital space. External nostrils a little 
high along edge of snout, each sending down a groove to edge 
of lip, and separated by a space a trifle more than that between 
eyes measured over bony area. Internasal space convex, and 
interorbital space flattened. Upper surface of head posterior to 
eyes with swollen convex appearance. Skin all finely or minutely 
pitted with minute granules, also all mixed in. Pores around eye 
more or less obsolete. Fore limb inserted about first sixth in 
body, reaches about a third of space to insertion of hind limb, and 
rather weak. Digits rather slender, depressed, edges rounded, 
not webbed, and with bulbous tips which are not disk-like. No 
tubercles on hands or feet. Third finger longest, 31% in rest of 
arm, first shortest, and second and fourth subequal. Hind limb 
inserted a little nearer tip of snout than tip of tail, reaching 
3% to tip of latter, and rather robust. Fourth toe longest, about 
3 in rest of leg, first shortest, third a little shorter, fourth and 
fifth shorter than third, though a trifle longer than second. Vent 
a longitudinal slit on lower surface of trunk just after hind legs.
