44 . Storer on the 
lar spots or blotches which have a brownish centre, 
a black circumference blending with each other, 
and a bright green halo; generally there are two 
longitudinal rows of these blotches, which are con- ' 
tinued the whole length of the body ; sometimes 
these spots are very regular, at other times, a third 
row may be seen, or the two will have become con- 
fluent at their inner sides, or the spots in the same 
row will have united with each other. Throat and 
abdomen white. Eyes prominent; pupils black ; 
irides golden. On each side of the back, an elevated 
bronze colored ridge passes from the eyes to near the 
extremity of the body. A similar, but smaller ridge 
runs from the anterior angle of the eye to the snout. 
On the outer side of the thighs, legs and tarsus, the ` 
blotches are long, irregular, but arranged transversely, 
having the appearance of bands. Buttocks and pos- 
terior surface of the thighs granulated and mottled 
with black. Upper surface of the body finely corru- 
gated with several irregular cuticular folds, arranged 
longitudinally on the back. Throat and belly smooth. 
Feet palmated; the fourth toe much larger than the 
others. All the fingers and toes, with tubercles on 
the inner surface of the joints. 'The body of this 
species seldom exceeds four inches in length. 
This frog is generally found in damp places, a 
short distance from water; although, being a great 
leaper and hence enabled to reach its wonted situa- 
tions with ease, it is occasionally met with at consid- 
erable distance from any pond or brook.
