smaller one in it, especially on the baek. Fore legs sli^iitly tubercnlar 

 only. IJuttocks grannlated ; the grannies depressed (not tnberculai). 

 On each side a broad depressed ridge of skin, not very distinct at first 

 sight, extending frohi the eye over tynipannni in a line slightly convex 

 above to near the groin, where it is interrni»ted, and then takes a sud- 

 <len bend npwards, over the leg, towards the anns, ceasing about op- 

 posite the articulation. This ridge is sometimes only tiaceable by the 

 cribriform pores, which are <'ro\vded in it for its whole length ; no branch 

 visible back of the tympanum. A glandular fold, as already described, 

 back from the jaw. Tibia altout half the lengtii of the body; a little, 

 longer than the femur and shorter than liiud foot ; third linger longest : 

 then fourth; second rather shortest; first much swollen at the i)ase. Ter 

 niinal Joints of toes nearly free from \vel», i'specially on the inner edge, 

 which is the cast' with the inner edges of the secoixl joints of the second. 

 third, and fourth toes. The membrane extends along the outer edge 

 of second Joint of fourth toe for a short distance. Cuiu'iform piocess 

 moderate, with a small tuben-le opposite it on the sole, bounded tuber- 

 cles beneath all the articulations, except the terminal. Tips of all the 

 fingers and toes s(»mewliat knobbed.

 blotches of darker, interspersed with dark duts of the same, generaliv 

 on the tubercles. The dots appear somewhat condeiised along the dni- 



.sal ridm'. A few indistinct transverse iaseiie mm tiie lei:s. 



Ueneath, 



greenish-white, with indistinct mottlings nt' dusky preseiil on the iiiiu r 

 faces of the limbs, leaving no portion o\' tin- Itodv iiiiieolor. A trace, 

 perhaps, of a yellowish line along tlu' posteiini portion of the jaw. JJut 

 tocks dark bn/wn, with light spots. 



With a general resemblance to A*, oiirord, it dilVers in being more 

 tubercular and pustulous above, the shorter liini)s, the smalh'r but 

 more lidly webbed feet, broader iu'ad ami tiuigue, etc. 



This species d i tiers from />'. r/ff»»f»/'( in the broader, more depressed
