Head oviform, much longer than broad ; snout rounded, as long 

 as the distance between the eye and the ear-opening, once and one 

 third the diameter of the orbit ; forehead concave ; ear-opening 

 small, round. Body short ; limbs rather strong. Digits relatively 

 much depressed in their basal part, inferiorly with transverse 

 lameUse, the greater number of which are generally broken up into 

 small scales forming three longitudinal series ; digital expan- 

 sion moderately large, roundish, its diameter half or three fifths 

 that of the eye. Upper surfaces covered with equal small smooth 

 granules. Rostral pentagonal, the posterior angle frequently trun- 

 cate ; nostril pierced between the -rostral, the first labial, and three 

 nasals, the anterior largest ; nine or ten- upper and as many lower 

 labials ; mental broadly trapezoid ; no regular chin-shields, but very 

 small polygonal scales passing gradually into the minute granules of 

 the throat. Abdominal scales small, smooth, imbricate. Tail 

 cylindrical, slightly depressed, tapering, prehensile, covered with 

 equal small squarish scales arranged in verticils. Grey-brown 

 above, marbled with darker and dotted with lighter ; a more or less

Head oviform, much longer than broad ; snout rounded, as long 

 as the diameter of the orbit ; ear-opening narrow, vertical. Body 

 short. Fingers and toes depressed in their basal part, with three 

 series of scales inferiorly ; digital expansion scarcely wider, roundish. 

 Upper surface of head covered with small polygonal scales much 

 larger than the dorsal granules. Eostral hexagonal, twice as broad 

 as high ; nostril pierced between several small scales, the anterior of 

 which is the largest ; nine upper labials ; mental rather large, 

 rounded ; a row of four small chin-shields, foUowed by smaller ones
