Snout pointed, projecting, twice as long as the diameter of the eye. 

 Pore limb considerably longer than its distance from the tip of the 

 snout. The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the 

 tibio-tarsal articulation reaches in front of the shoulder ; toes quite 

 free, with blunt tips and distinct subarticular tubercles; a very 

 small, very indistinct, inner metatarsal tubercle ; no outer tubercle 

 Skin perfectly smooth ; a fold across the head, behind the eyes. 

 Light brown above ; back with an irregular broad dark band ; sides 

 of head and body dark brown ; hip with a round dark-brown spot ; 

 thigh, leg, and tarsus each with a broad dark-edged cross band ; beUy 

 marbled with brown ; throat brown, marbled with whitish. 



In coloration this species resembles K ustum, from which it differs 

 in having a single, hardly distinct, metatarsal tubercle. Prom 

 E. ovale it differs in the longer hind limbs ; and from E. carolinense 

 in the latter character and in the longer, more pointed snout.
