num nearly three-fourths as wide as the eye. A glandular 

 fold above the tympanum ; another behind the angle of 

 the mouth. Digits slightly swollen at the tips ; fingers 

 moderate, first a little longer than second; toes slender, 

 with a narrow fringe ; outer metatarsal tubercle small and 

 indistinct; articular tubercles well developed. When 

 turned forward the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the eye. 

 Skin smooth ; no folds on the flanks. The hinder part 

 of the body bears numerous very small papillae, in cases 

 scattered over the whole body. Ventral fold indistinct 

 or absent. Male with an internal subgular vocal sac, and 

 two strong conical tubercles on the inside of the first digit. 



BroAvn ; a whitish band across the supraorbitals on the 

 forehead ; a dark blotch from the orbits to an ashy spot 

 on the middle of the back ; with dark spots or cloudings 

 on the hinder portion of the back, on the flanks and on the 

 sides of the limbs. Legs, feet and digits with transverse 

 bands of brown. Belly whitish ; chin and throat mottled 

 with brown, becoming dark in males. A white streak 

 from the eye to the angle of the mouth, another below 

 the eye, another down the end of the snout, and two 

 others between the latter and the eye. These streaks 

 become obsolete on very dark colored specimens ; that 

 from the eye is often continued to the shoulder where it 

 meets a white mark around the arm. The minute papillae 

 are usually light-colored and often are surmounted by a 

 black tip. 



A male measures in length of body one and five-eighths 

 inches and in leg two and three-eighths ; a female is one 

 and three-fourths in body and two and a half inches in 

 length of leg.
