Tongue circular, slightly nicked, and scarcely free behind. Vome- 

 rine teeth in two oblique, slightly curved series behind the level of

 than long ; snout rounded, about once and a half as long as the 

 diameter of the orbit ; canthus rostralis blunt ; loreal region slightly 

 concave ; interorbital space broader than the upper eyelid ; tym- 

 panum very distinct, three fourths the diameter of the eye. Three 

 outer fingers webbod to the disks ; no projecting rudiment of poUex ; 

 toes entirely webbed ; disks of fingers a little smaller than the 

 tympanum; subartioular tubercles small. The hind limb being 

 carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal marks the tip of 

 the snout. Upper surfaces minutely tubercular ; lower surfaces 

 granulate ; a denticulated fringe along the outer side of forearm and
