teriorly beyond the extremity of the outer branches. Head 
large, depressed, as broad as long; snout short, rounded; eyes 
rather large, prominent; no labial lobes. Body short, a little 
more than thrice the length of the head; the distance from 
snout to gular fold contained a little more than twice and a half 
in the distance from latter to cloaca. Limbs moderate; when 
laid against the body the fingers cross the toes. Fingers and 
toes moderate, depressed ; fifth toe rudimentary, as in Hynobius 
peropus. ‘Tail about as long as head and body, strongly com- 
pressed and keeled superiorly and inferiorly, ending in a blunt 
point. Skin smooth, shining; eleven costal grooves ; a median 
dorsal groove ; parotoids rather indistinct, porous ; gular fold 
strongly marked; a distinct groove behind the angle of the 
jaws. Brown above, lighter beneath, with lichen-like greyish 
variegation ; whitish dots on the sides of the body.
