Head small, "width three and one-third times in total length ; loreal re- 

 gion straight; canthus rostralis strong. Sacral diapophyses small, well 

 dilated. Tympanum halforbit or a little less. Skin smooth above. Tibia 

 not half the total length. Hind foot longer than arm from elbow, t"WO 

 and one-quarter to two aad one-half times width of head behind. In 

 spirits, bluish above, with or without two dark longitudinal stripes; be- 

 neath white. A dark band from the eye along the sides, margined above 

 and below by a white line, the lower one reaching only to the arm, be- 

 hind which the outline of the dark band is indistinct. Legs not banded. 



The proportions of this species are much those of H. sqidrella, but 

 stouter; the head short and broad, the body stout, and the limbs short. 

 The skin above appears smooth, as in H. caroUnensis ; beneath granu- 

 lated. The tongue is large, apparently broader than long ; shape slightly 

 emarginate behind ; one-third free. Teeth are in two rather elongated 

 patches, inclined from each other backwards between the internal nares, 

 and terminating about opposite the centers of the latter ; then more pos- 

 terior than in H. caroUnensis. Tympanum moderate. A single vesicle, 

 supported between the rami of the lower jaw. 



The fingers are provided with distinct pallettes and are very slightly 

 webbed at base ; the toes also with well-developed pallettes and webbed 

 to their penultimate articulation (the antepenultimate is the longest toe). 

 The tibia is longer than the thigh, but not half the length of the body. 



Above of a nearly uniform clear bluish lead color in alcohol ; no doubt 

 green in life ; beneath white or unicolored. A brown line extends
