10. GYMNODACTYLtrS. 45 



Head rather large, depressed, oviform ; snout longer than the 

 diameter of the orbit, which equals its distance from the ear-open- 

 ing; forehead concave; ear-opening suboval, oblique, not quite 

 one third the diameter of the eye. Body and limbs rather elongate. 

 Digits strong, slightly depressed at the base, strongly compressed in 

 the remaining portion ; the basal phalange with weU-developed 

 transverse plates inferiorly. Head granular, with very small tubercles 

 on the occipital and temporal regions, the granules rather enlarged 

 on the snout ; rostral subquadrangular, not twice as broad as high, 

 with median cleft above, entering considerably the nostril: latter 

 slightly directed posteriorly, pierced between the rostral, the first 

 labial, and several scales ; ten to twelve tipper and nine or ten lower 

 labials ; mental triangular ; two or three pairs of chin-shields, 

 median largest and in contact behind the point of the mental ; 

 throat minutely granulate. Body and limbs covered above with 

 small granules intermixed with small roundish, feebly keeled, sub- 

 trihedral tubercles ; a more or less defined series of tubercles from 

 axilla to groin, limiting the abdominal region ; ventral scales small, 

 cycloid, imbricate. Males with praeanal and femoral pores ; the 

 former twelve or thirteen altogether, in a ^-shaped series, enclosing 

 a groove ; the latter widely separated from the former, four to six 

 on each side. Tail cylindrical, tapering, covered with uniform small 

 flat scales, above with a few scattered tubercles. Light brown above, 

 with chestnut-brown spots, which are sometimes confluent into 

 cross bands on the back ; tail, when intact, with dark-brown annuli; 

 a chestnut-brown streak on the side of the head, passing through 

 the eye ; lower surfaces brownish.
