black spots which form the posterior angles of obscure transverse 

 chevron bands; the band at the base of the tail is entirely black, bor- 

 dered behind with whitish and continues down the posterior edge of 

 the thigh ; the trans ocular line passes posteriorly to above the arm and 

 there is a distinct dusky intcrocular band. In some of the specimens 

 the throat is densely speckled with minute brownish dots. 



The dusky color of the lamellated digital pads is constant in all the 

 specimens, a character which is not present in the two specimens l^efore 

 me said to have been collected in Samoa (Nos. 15571, 15572, U.S.N.M.).
