Description of species . — (From Stejneger.) “Head with 
strongly developed bony crests, involving the upper lip, a rostral 
ridge on end of snout from lip to between nostrils, there bifur- 
cating and continuing on canthus rostralis, along supraorbital 
border to above the tympanum, forming there a knob-like prom- 
inence and sending a branch downward along the anterior border 
of the tympanum; a slight parietal spur indicated, also a short 
anteorbital spur or crest; nostrils nearer the tip of the snout 
than the eye ; interorbital space deeply concave, m.uch wider than 
upper eyelid, which is strongly tubercular and with thickened 
glandular edges ; tympanum vertical, oval or almost pear-shaped, 
separated from the orbit by a very narrow space, its longest 
diameter about three-fourths the diameter of the eye ; parotoids 
large, swollen, kidney-shaped; first finger reaches considerably 
beyond second which does not quite reach as far as fourth; 
an elongate inner and a much larger outer palmar tubercle;
