between the eye and the end of the snout ; interorbital space 

 a little narrower than the upper eyelid ; diameter of the tym-

 the diameter of the latter. First finger not or scarcely 

 extending beyond second. Tibio-tarsal articulation reaching 

 the eye ; tibia shorter than the fore limb. Inner metatarsal 

 tubercle small, oval, blunt ; no outer tubercle. Subarticular 

 tubercles small. Toes two-thirds or three-fourths webbed.

Its eastern range extends over nearly the whole of China 

 and Amoorland and Japan. The differences between Euro- 

 pean and Japanese specimens, which consist chiefly in the 

 greater size and perfect distinctness of the tympanum, the 

 black lateral stripe, and the deep black spots or marblings of 

 the lower parts in the latter, are completely bridged over by 

 the Chinese and Manchurian specimens. Specimens from 

 Ichang, on the Yangtse Kiang, and Ningpo come nearest 

 the Japanese, from which they do not differ in coloration ;
