hinder edge of the choanse. Snout once and one third as long as 

 the orbital diameter, with angular canthus roetralis and concave 

 loreal region ; interorbital space a little narrower than the upper 

 eyelid ; crown flat ; tympanum half the diameter of the eye. Pin- 

 gers moderate, first shorter than second ; toes moderate, slightly 

 webbed ; disks of fingers large, of toes moderate ; subarticular tuber- 

 cles well developed ; a small inner, and a rather indistinct outer 

 metatarsal tubercle. The hind limb being carried forwards along 

 the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches nearly the tip of the 

 snout. Skin with short glandular folds above, smooth beneath, ex- 

 cept on the lower belly and under the thighs ; a fold above the tym- 

 panum ; Tipper eyelid with a conical tubercle. Olive above, marbled 

 with darker ; a rather indistinct lighter lateral streak beginning
