Vomerine teeth in two more or less oblique series between 

 the choanae, beginning close to the inner front edge of the 

 latter. Head as long as broad ; snout obtusely pointed, pro- 

 jecting, about as long as the upper eyelid; canthus rostralis 

 angular, straight; loreal region nearly vertical, concave; nostril 

 much nearer to end of snout than to eye; interorbital space in 

 adult specimens I'/a to 2 times the width of the upper eye- 

 lid, narrower in the young ; tympanum very distinct, -/g to ^4 

 the diameter of the eye. Disks of fingers rather large, smaller 

 than the tympanum; disks of toes smaller than those of fingers; 

 first finger shorter than second, which is much shorter than 

 fourth ; fingers with a slight rudiment of web, toes "^j^ webbed, 

 the web reaching the disks of 3d and cth toe or nearly so 

 far; last two phalanges of 4^'! toe only included by a narrow 

 fringe; subarticular tubercles well developed; a small inner 

 metatarsal tubercle ; a rudimentary outer metatarsal tubercle 

 rarely present'); the heel reaches at least the eye, sometimes 

 beyond the tip of the snout; tibia '/a to ^/g the length of 

 head and body. 



Skin co-ossified with the frontoparietalia, and, in older spe- 

 cimens, usually with the nasalia and paraquadrata (squamosa) 

 too (in very young specimens, up to about 35 mm. in length, 

 the skin is free from the skull) ; finely granulate above ; a fold 

 above the tympanum ; belly and lower surface of thighs coar- 

 sely granulate. 



Coloration very variable, even in the same individual. Upper 

 parts grey, yellow, bronze, brown, reddish, or greenish, usually 

 spotted or mottled with brown or black; sometimes a black 

 streak from the temporal region backwards and a few dark 

 spots on the sides; edges of jaws white; limbs with dark 

 cross-bars; hinder side of thighs uniform or light-spotted; lower 

 parts white or buff, throat and breast sometimes with dark
