IJeiul ratiier acMite. Tibiii n'lichinjj half-way from tlu' amis to the 

 nostrils. Above, du'stimt with obsolct*^ bh)tcli('s of (hirkcr. A daik 

 chestnut stripe from snout, tiirouj-h eye and tymi)anuni, with several 

 Jarge obliijue bhitehes of tiio same on the sides. Meneath, re(hlisli- 

 white ; immaculate. 



Proportions rather slender and {graceful. Head rather acute; no 

 perceptible contraction at the neck ; li'.i;s lon^' and much developed. 



The nostiils aie situated very near the tip of the snout (the sides of 

 which are rather abrupt); they are separated from each other by less 

 than on«'third the width of the head. The eyes:ii'e moderate, the rym- 

 ])anum snudi, about half the dianu'ter (»f the oH.M. A jiroove passes 

 from the iiosterior portion of orbit above and around the tym]>anum to 

 the in.sertion of the arm in front. Anteritu- marj>iu of the eyes about 

 opposite the middle of the commissure. Tonj^ue ^ arial)le in dilferent 

 specimens; in one (a male) larjic, and lilliu!;' up the inters{)ace of hnver 

 jaw r, the e«lj;es thin and fiee behind and laterally; bioadly or orbicu- 

 larly cordiform. In two others the ton.i;ue is contrarlcd into smaller 

 space, thus thickeuiu;;' the ed^es, althou<;h still rctiiininji much the siim«! 

 shape. The inner nostrils are lar<;(', opposite to the anterior (;anthusof 

 the orbit. The vomerine protuberances are in t wo«'lliptical patches, their 

 htUfier axes in the .sanu transverse line: their anterior ed;;es just behind 

 the losterior border of the rutstrils; the two separated by a narrow in- 

 terval. One speciuu'ii has tlu' patches more elonjiated, and narrower 

 than the two others. 



The head isslijihtly shorter than broad. The fore;iriii is lonjicr than 

 the hand: the tibia, about half the length of the body, is huip'r than 

 the thi^di, and about the lenj;th of the foot. 



The tinkers and toes are all shinier, cylindrical, ami taiierin,!.> sli<jhtly 

 to the delicate tips, which piesent no indicationsof pallets. The linjicrs 

 are entirely free: the outer lon^jer than tlu' second, the third louj^est. 

 The two external metatarsals are united to the end, \\ ith no web between 

 them. The other metatarsals are divided to the tarsus, but coniu'(tte«l 

 by a web of considerable devdninnent, which scarcely jtasses beyoml 

 the ends of the metatarsus. Tlie outer toe is htnjicr than the thiid. 

 Transver.se apophy.ses of sacral vertebia dilated, with trianj;ular pallet. 



The under part.s, anterior to the slij;ht jtectoral fold, are entirely 

 simtoth. Hehiml this is a |>avemenL of depressed j;ramdes, which ex- 

 tends to the inferior and posteritu- surface of the thi>;lis, becomiuj;' tiner
