the distance between the nostrils a little greater than the 

 interorbital width, which equals the width of the upper eye- 

 lid. Tynijianuni rather indistinct, half the diameter of the 

 eye ; its distance from the eye equals two thirds or three 

 fourths its diameter. 



Fore limb nearly as long as the body. First finger not 

 extending beyond second ; tips of fingers very obtuse, 

 swollen; subarticular tubercles strongly developed. Ilind 

 limb very long, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaching beyond 

 the tip of the snout. Tibia as long as the fore limb and 

 longer than the foot. Toes nearly entirely webbed, even in 

 the very young, with obtuse, swollen tips; subarticular 

 tubercles large and prominent. Inner metatarsal tubercle 

 soft, oval, measuring half the length of the inner toe ; a very 

 distinct tubercle at the base of the fourth toe. 

 Skin of upper parts rough with small warts. 

 Dorso-lateral fold narrow and not very prominent, some- 

 times interrupted, running straight from the temple to the 

 groin ; the distance between the dorso-lateral folds on the 

 scapular region equals one fourth the length from snout to 

 vent. 



Grey or grey-brown above^ with very indistinct darker 

 spots and a band across the interorbital space ; glandular 

 lateral folds lighter ; loreal region down to the border of the 

 lip dark ; a black canthal streak and a black temporal spot ;
