tubercle-like pads on the palm ; a metacarpal tubercle 

 opposite the base of the first finger. Toes almost webbed 

 to the discs except on the fourth ; discs a little smaller

 inner metatarsal tubercle. The distance between the anus 

 and the tibio-tarsal articulation of the outstretched hind- 

 limb, equals the distance between the latter and the anterior 

 border or a little in front of the eye.
