ARUNCO. 175 



the rest of the skin : space between the eyes de- 

 pressed, and smooth; the horders of the projecting 

 orbits of the eyes are black, and run backwards as 

 far as the drum of the ears, and descending in 

 front, unite before the nostrils: the same border 

 also surrounds the upper jaw : the tips of the toes, 

 and the two calli of both hind and fore feet, are 

 also black. The hind feet are semipalmated. A 

 fine specimen, agreeing with this description, is 

 preserved in the British Museum ; its size is nearly 

 equal to that of the common toad, which it much 

 resembles in habit : its colour is a pale yellowish 

 brown.
