Tongue oval, slightly nicked behind. Vomerine teeth in two 

 oblique series behind the choanse. Snout subacuminate, prominent, 

 with distinct canthus rostraUs ; nostril much nearer the tip of the 

 snout than the eye ; the orbital diameter equals the distance between 

 the eye and the nostril ; interorbital space broader than the upper 

 eyelid ; tympanum distinct, half the diameter of the eye. Fingers 

 moderate, first not extending beyond second ; toes moderate, with a 

 rudiment of web extending as a slight fringe along the sides of the 

 toes ; disks and gubarticular tubercles well developed ; a small oval 

 inner, and a rather indistinct rounded outer metatarsal tubercle. 

 The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tibio- 

 tarsal articulation reaches the tip of the snout or beyond. Skin 

 smooth, or with very small scattered tubercles on the back, sides, 

 and eyelids ; a narrow glandular lateral fold from the eye to the 

 sacral region ; beUy smooth. Brown or olive above ; sides of head 

 dark brown ; a black streak along the canthus rostralis and over the 

 temporal region ; a dark spot between the eyes ; sides with rather 

 indistinct oblique dark stripes ; limbs cross-barred ; hinder side 

 of thighs dark brown, spotted with white; throat speckled with 

 brown.

From Dr. Steindachner's description and figures I cannot find a 

 single structural character difierentiating his R. guntheri from this 

 species, and am therefore inclined to regard both as identical.
