and one third in the distance between axilla and groin. Snout long 
and pointed, much depressed. Lower eyelid with an undivided 
transparent disk. Nostril pierced in the middle of the nasal; no 
supranasal ; anterior loreal as deep as the nasal; frontonasal about 
as broad as long, forming a broad straight or slightly curved suture 
with the rostral; prefrontals forming a median suture; frontal 
kite-shaped, shorter than the frontoparietals and interparietal 
together, in contact with the two or three anterior supraoculars ; 
five or six supraoculars, anterior much the largest; eight to ten 
supraciliaries, first large ; frontoparietals distinct, about as long as 
the interparietal; parietals forming a suture behind the inter- 
parietal ; four or five pairs of nuchals ; eight or nine upper labials, 
sixth or seventh entering the orbit. Ear-opening small, elliptical, 
slightly oblique, with four small rounded projecting scales on its 
anterior border. 38 scales round the middle of the body, perfectly 
smooth ; laterals smallest, those of the two vertebral series twice as 
broad as long. Two enlarged preanals. The hind limb reaches 
the elbow or not quite so far. Digits moderately elongate, the 
basal portion strongly depressed, distinctly dilated, the distal slender 
and compressed ; fourth toe little longer than third; subdigital 
lamellee smooth, 16 to 18 under the dilated, and 7 under the com-
