  porous 
  warts

  together 
  and 
  form 
  short 
  chains, 
  

   particularly

  oblique, 
  posteriorly 
  converging 
  pair 
  

   between 
  the 
  shoulders, 
  and 
  a 
  parotoid-like 
  one 
  on 
  

   each 
  side 
  behind 
  the 
  eyes 
  ; 
  a 
  distinct 
  fold 
  usually 
  

   extends

  ;
