bordering upper and lower labials somewhat enlarged; scales 
on chin and throat small, those on abdomen imbricate and larger ; 
snout covered with uniform granules, larger than those on occi- 
put or body; occiput with scattered tubercular granules, rather 
conical; body with about sixteen irregular rows of trihedral 
tubercles; latter present on limbs; tail but slightly depressed, 
with whorls of sharply keeled spines marking annulations, about 
eight spines in transverse rows at base of tail; below enlarged, 
broadened, imbricate scales; regenerated part of tail without 
spines ; limbs moderate, with digits all clawed, without any trace 
of webs, the distal phalanx rising from near end of toe; latter 
long, compressed, much deepened near end ; nine divided lamellae 
under longest toe, seven under longest finger; a distinct lateral 
fold from axilla to groin; a short series of femoral pores, five 
on one side, six on other side. 
Color in alcohol. — The specimen is light yellow-brown with no 
evidence of marking save a dark spot on the snout.

Variation. — The variation noted among specimens is largely 
in the markings. The live specimens examined usually exhibited 
a series of large dim dark blotches on the back, alternating 
with lighter markings. In most specimens the spiny tubercles 
on the back were white (see Plate I, fig. 2, h and c). The skin 
above the auricular opening forms an indistinct flap or fold 
(scarcely noticeable in preserved specimens), which is usually 
held distended in living or freshly killed specimens; this char- 
acter is very evident and is shown in Plate I, fig. 2, h and c. 
The fold of skin on sides of body is prominent in living specimens 
and is shown clearly in the figure mentioned. 
Remarks. — Evidently a rare form; most closely allied to H. 
depressus but easily distinguished by the longer snout, the char- 
acter of the tail and the preanal pores, and the absence of webs 
on the feet. Known only from the Philippines.
