the distance between it and the nostril, but it is equal to the width of the 

 upper side between the eyes. Tympanum naked, as large as the eye. 



Head smooth above, hinder half of the eyelids tuberculated ; body above 

 with about eight longitudinal somewhat interrupted folds, with numerous 

 small tubercles between them ; limbs also smooth above, with the exception 

 of the posterior halves of the tibiae, which are tubercular ; chin in front with 

 a few scattered, minute tubercles, a few others exist on the side of the belly, 

 and the hinder part of the sacral region is densely studded with small plicat- 

 ed turbercles ; the remainder of the under side is smooth. 



The length of the body is very nearly equal to the distance between the 

 vent and the middle of the tarsus ; the fore limb is equal to the distance 

 from the tympanum to the groin. The first finger is scarcely shorter than 

 the third, the second and fourth are subequal. There is a slight fold on the 

 inner lower edge of the tarsus, and one along the outer edge of the fifth toe. 

 The tarsus has a single, inner, elongated, marginal tubercle. The toes are 

 about three-quarter webbed, the web reaching on the fourth toe to scarcely 

 beyond the base of the third-ultimate joint ; on all the other toes it extends 

 to the last joint, but it is deeply emarginate between all of them. The tips 

 of all the toes are much swollen ; the length of the fourtli measured from the 

 base of the tarsus is slightly less than half the length of the body. 



Lower jaw with two fang-like projections directed inward. Tongue 

 elongate, much broader towards the tip than at the base, terminating with 

 two moderately sized projections. Vomerine teeth in two short oblique con- 

 verging series. Sacral diapophyses not dilated. 



Above, greenish brown, with a dark band from the nostril through the 

 eye, continuing behind it ; limbs with numerous transverse dark bands ; 

 they are somewhat ill-defined on the upper arm, on the lower arm there are 

 three or four very short ones, six on the femur, five somewhat more distant 

 ones on each tibia, three on the tarsus, one on metatarsus and a few more 

 on the outer-side of the toes. The hinder sides of the femora are densely 

 and rather minutely variegated with dark brown ; a horse-shoe shaped yel- 

 low mark, open below, round the anus ; folds on the tarsus and outer toe also 

 yellowish ; lips indistinctly variegated with pale and dusky ; lower side uni- 

 form white, except on the tibiae, and on the feet, which are speckled with dark. 

 The only species which in some respects resembles the present form is 

 Mana porosissima, Steindachner, from Angola (No vara Amphibiens, p. 18, 

 pi. I, figs. 9-13), but it differs in the coloration of the limbs, in the smaller 

 size of the tympanum, smaller vomerine ridges of teeth, in having the apo- 

 physes on the lower jaw scarcely enlarged, the tips of the toes not swol- 

 len &c.
