distinct oblique folds on the thighs and tibixe; the under surfaces are quite smooth. 
In the other specimen, which is figured on the plate, the upper surfaces are finely 
chagreened, but there are no pointed tubercles, except the three on the posterior part 
of the back; the hind limbs are in this specimen quite smooth with exception of some 
small prickles on the posterior edge of the tibia and tarsus. In both specimens the 
heel is provided with a dermal, more or less spurlike, appendage. 
The colour is rather dissimilar in the specimens. The figured smoother spe- 
cimen is much lighter than the prickled one. In the former the back is greyish 
brown, considerably darker on the posterior parts; upper surface of snout light grey, 
a rather indistinet dark cross-band between the eyes, a black triangular spot on the 
anterior part of the back and three small spots on its posterior part; the latter ones 
are placed round the three tubercles; in the same way a foremost pair of tubercles 
is slightly indicated in the anterior triangular spot. The edge of the glandular fold 
is light, very distinctly limiting the back from the anterior parts of the sides, which 
are jet black as well as the sides of the head. The groin and adjoining parts of the 
thigh are whitish, upper sides of femur and tibia blackish brown, indistinetly barred 
with black; upper surfaces of feet and fore limbs light; belly and other under parts 
reddish white with small dark dots on the chin and breast; under surfaces of feet 
blackish brown with exception of those of the three inner toes which are light. 
About the colour of this specimen, when alive, Dr. MJÖBERG has stated: »Greenish 
yellow above with four black spots; viz. a large triangular in front and three placed in 
a triangel on the posterior part of the back; below reddish yellow; the sides of the 
body black.> The other specimen is uniform dark-coloured above; only the fore 
limbs are light; the sides are black with exception of the groin which is light yellowish 
in this specimen as well. Chin and breast blackish brown; belly and under surfaces 
of fore limbs, of thighs, and of tibie light with dark dots; feet dark below, inner 
parts light above. 
The dark, smaller, and spiny specimen is a male with a subgular vocal sac, which 
opens by two longitudinal slits on the sides of the tongue in the same manner as in 
Crima sigmifera. The light and smooth specimen is a female. Whether the diffe- 
rences recorded are to be considered as sexual or not, can not be decided by these 
two specimens; possibly the more spiny skin is a characteristic, belonging to the 
male, the dark colour, however, is probably the colour of the young.
