long, the length of the third finger, including the metacarpal bone, 

 equals the length of the third toe from tarsal joint; fourth linger much 

 longer than second, which is nuich longer than first; disks on second, 

 third, and fourth fingers very large, pointed anteriorly, that 'on first 

 finger nmch smaller, not larger than the disks of the toes; hind legs 

 long, the tibio tarsal articulation of the extended leg reaching consider- 

 ably bej^ond the snout; length of tibia more than one-half the total 

 length of head and bod}^; toes nearly entirely webbed; disks well 

 developed but small, about the size of those of first finger; a feeble 

 inner metatarsal tubercle about one-fourth the length of the first toe; 

 a sliglit indication only of an inner metatarsal tubercle; the sharp outer 

 dermal edge of the fifth toe continued along the tarsus as a distinct 

 fold; a distinct, but very narrow dorso-lateral glandular fold; no fold 

 behind tympanum; skin smooth above, with a distinct patch of minute 

 pointed pustules on the posterior two-thirds of the upper eyelid, and 

 a similar one, with the pustules somewhat wider apart, above the tym- 

 panum; throat and breast smooth, but sides, bell}', and posterior lower 

 surface of femurs rather coarsely granular. Color (in alcohol) above 

 uniform olive green; a very strongly contrasted narrow yellow stripe 

 beginning on the tip of the snout, following the canthus rostralis, 

 outer edge of upper eyelid and the whole length of the dorso-lateral 

 fold to the groin; underneath this yellow band, on the snout and lores, 

 a dark purplish-brown band, which widens behind the eye so as to 

 include the whole tympanic region; whole edge of upper lip to behind 

 angle of mouth yellowish; a narrow yellowish line, following a slight 

 glandular fold on the outer lower edge of the forearm; a narrow yel- 

 lowish line, sharply marking the outer dermal edge of the fifth toe and 

 the tarsal fold to the heel; posterior aspect of femur obscurely dark 

 purplish gray, sending upward a triangular projection to include the 

 vent; below the latter, in the dark area, two sharply defined and 

 strongly contrasting pale yellow^ round spots, one on each side of the 

 middle line; indications of obscure, dusky crossbars on the hind limbs;
