Mtizzlt^ and caiitliiis lostnilis roiiuded ; (he foriiiei' projeetiiiy', but 

 short, not longer than tliametei of eye; external iiares nearer the orbit 

 than the tMul of the iiiiizxle; skin not areolated or roiigluMied above; 

 toes without teriiiinal kiiol s, (listiiuMly wehlted at the base, and with 

 well developed siiliartieular iiiliercles; himl legs short, heel only reiich- 

 iiig posterior edge of tympaiiiim wlieii exteiidt'd. 



The liead is rather short, and the anterior outline is a narrow oval. 

 The e.xtreniity of the miiz/le inojects beyond the month, and tln^ lore.s 

 are slightly oliliipie ami a little concave. The nostril is but little nearer 

 the extremity of the muzzle than the orbit. The vertical diameter of 

 the tympanum a little ex«!eeds the transver.se, which is one-half the long 

 diameter of the eyeslit. The pupil, as in the other species of this 

 genus, is horizontal. The tongue is wide, di.scoid, and entire behind. 

 Theo.'^tia pliaryngea are smaller than the small choaiiie. The vomerine 

 patches are. short and traiisver.se; they ai«M'ntirely within the lines of 

 the inner borders of the choana' and behind the line of the posterior 

 boiders of the same. 



The tiiliercles of the superior surfaces are small and lather dcsely 

 placed ; they are largest on the sides of th(» back. There is a faint areo- 

 latioii of the gular region. The limlis are short and stout. The humerus 

 is half or more inclosed in the skin. The |>alm reaches nearly to the end 

 of the muzzle. The lingers are short and stout, and have neither dilatii- 

 tions nor borders. The lirst is shorter than the second, whicli eijuals 

 the fourth. The palmar tubentles are not distinct. The heel of the ap- 

 pressed hind foot in thin specimens marks the middle of the tympanic 

 disk or posterior border of orbit, and the end of the muzzle the extremity 

 of the tarsus. The hind foot beytuid the tarsus is only as long as the 

 tibia. The toes have no dilatations, but possess dermal margins, and a 

 short but distinct basal web. There is luit (tiie solar tuliercle, a small 

 cuneiform piomiiieiKic. Total length, .(KM'"; of head, to liiu^ of posterior 

 borders of membraiium tympani, .011'"; width of head at the latter, 

 .tut'"; length of hind leg, .(Mo'"; of femur, .01. "i"'; of hind foot, .022"' ; of 

 tarsus, .0()!»"'. 



The (tolor above is olive-gray, and below uniform straw-color. A 

 black band passes from the end of the muzzle on each side, through the 

 eye, and, exiiandiiig over the ear drum, terminates in front of the liu- 

 mei us. One or two dark spots above and behind the axilla may unite 

 to fiiiiii part of a lateral band. There may or may not be blackish spots 

 above the groin and on the pelvit; region and anterior part of the back.
