 a short cleft above ; nostril pierced between the rostral, the first 

 labial, and three nasals ; twelve upper and ten lower labials ; three 

 or four transverse rows of small hexagonal chin-shields. Dorsal 

 scales uniform, minutely granular ; ventrals much larger, roundish- 

 hexagonal, subimbricate. Digits one-third webbed, strongly dilated,
