to its apex, but not beyond. The tympanic disk is two-tliirds the diam- 

 eter of the eye. The head is shorter, entering the length of the head 

 and body three and a half times. The dorsal dermal plicpe are thicker 

 and there are but two between the dorsolaterals ; usually, however, 

 there are four, as in the other sub-sj)ecies. First finger longer than sec- 

 ond. Web leaving two free phalanges of the fourth digit, but so repand 

 as to give the antepenultimate phalange only a wide border. The 

 inner cuneiform tubercle is rather small, but has a rather prominent 

 compressed edge. External tubercle, none. A thick tarsal fold. There 

 are no large warts on the skin, but there are occasionally minute warts 

 and folds on the superior face of the tibia.

In life the color of the superior surfaces is green. The dorsolateral 

 ridges are light yellow, and so is a stripe from the end of the muzzle, 

 which passes above the lip and below the eye and tympanum to above 

 the middle of the humerus. There are two rows of large, rounded 

 dorsal spots between the dorsolateral ridges, which are edged with 

 greenish-yellow. There are two similar rows on each side, of which the 

 inferior is the smaller, which are not regularly arranged. There is a 

 spot on each eyelid and one on the end of the nose above. There is a 

 light band, frequently broken into spots near the edge of the upper lip. 

 There is a brown spot on the elbow and one on the front of the cubitus. 

 The bands seen on the front of humerus in E. v. virescens is here an illy 

 defined spot. On the superior face of the femur there arc three brown 

 spots, but there is no longitudinal brown baud in front of these spots, 

 as is usual in the two other subspecies of the E. virescens. There are 

 three complete wide brown cross-bands on the femur, and sometimes 

 four. Frequently there are one or two spots on one or both fsices of the 

 tibia besides the three bauds. The posterior face of the feinur is green- 

 ish-yellow, coarsely marbled with brown. All the spots and bands are 

 narrowly yellow-edged. Inferior surfaces light yellow, unspotted.
