from choanse by a distance much greater than the length of 
a single series, and from each other by a distance less than half 
of a single series ; distance between openings of Eustachian tubes 
less than their distance from choanse; distance between choans 
equals distance between nostrils; head longer than wide, snout 
protruding slightly; eyes very large and protruding; diameter 
about one-fourth or one-fifth longer than snout; nostril nearer 
tip of snout than eye; tympanum quite distinct, its diameter 
about half of eye, separated from eye by a distance equal to 
one-third of its diameter; canthus rostralis distinct, roundly an- 
gular, the loreal region nearly vertical, the lores concave ; width of 
upper eyelid little more than one and one-third times interorbital 
distance; skin of body above and below entirely smooth; a’ few 
granules on posterior aspect of thigh and about anal region;
