lli'iid .sliort, wi<U', iMiti'riiif,' tlio lon^jtli tliri'c aixl a lialf times. Muz- 

 zle rcfiiilaiiy broadly romidtMl, not project in;; Ix-vniid prtMnaxillary 

 ImitltT, a.s Ion;; oM the side a.s tlic len^'tli of llie eve lissure. No.strils 

 leiiiiiiial, m-ar the superior plane of the niii/./le. 'rynipaniini vi'ry ilis- 

 tiiict, its diameter two-thinl.s that of the i-ye lissure. Toiiyiie di.scoid, 

 very openly oinarginatc behind. Choana' small; the vomerine teeth in 

 a pair of transverse fa.s(;i(;les exactly between them. Ostia itliaryngesi 

 of Kiislachian tubes about eipial to the choana'. 



Inte^iumont with numerous scattered small tuborclcs, above and on 

 tlie, limbs. Gnlar region arcolated, as well asbcUy. Fingers free, tho 

 lirst coiisidor.ibly slnutcr than the se(;ond. I*allettcs moderate. one-third 

 the area of the tympanum. Hind legs moderate; when extended, the 

 heel marks the anterior part of the orbit. The extent of the web is 

 s(Hiiewhat variable, in some specimens leaving oidy two jdialanges of 

 the fourth toe free, while in others two are free on the outer side and 

 three on the inner; while otlu'rs display intermediate conditions. The 

 pallcttcsare about the si/e of those of the hand. The internal metatar- 

 sal tubercle is small but distinct; a narrow tarsal fold, which is in- 

 I'luvcd proximally. The length of the arm from tli»' elbow is less than 

 that of thi^ tibia, but is greater than the iiiml foot. 



Tlic general tint of color is much as in II. nr.sicnli)}; The blotches 

 on I lie back are, however, more numerous, and exhibit a tendency to 

 arrangement in two rows of nearly circular spots; sometimes the serial 

 arrangement is not nnnntained. Owing to the greater length of the hin«l 

 legs, there are three transverse bars across the I'cninr, lil)ia, and tarsus, 

 as well as a larger nund>er on the metatarsus. The marbling, .so con- 

 spii-uoiis on the anterior and posterior faces of the hind legs, as well as 

 in the groin of //. rcrsicnlor, is here wanting. 



(iencral aspect of //. rcrsicolor, having the same squat apjicarance, 

 the granulated skin above and below, the ashcolor back with darker 

 niottlings, the white spot umU'r the eye, etc. The imtst consi)icuous dis- 

 thi(!tive features are the ab.sence of webs of the lingers, the greater 

 length of the hind legs, and the blotches on the back being in round 

 spots, not cuneiform. The legs with three bars not two, and without 

 the reticulates markings behind and below.
