Description of species . — (From Boulenger.) “Tongue en- 
tire or feebly nicked behind. Vomerine teeth usually present, 
in two widely separated small groups just behind the level 
of the choanae. Head large, to If times as broad as long, 
usually defined behind by a more or less distinct transverse fold ; 
snout truncate or obtusely pointed, projecting beyond lower jaw, 
as long as or a little shorter than eye; canthus rostralis sharp; 
loreal region vertical or a little oblique, concave; nostril equally 
distant from eye and from end of snout ; interorbital space con- 
cave, its width to 2 times that of upper eyelid (narrower 
in the very young) ; tympanum usually feebly distinct, rarely 
hidden, its diameter -J- to f that of eye, from which it is sepa- 
rated by a distance equal to the diameter of the latter. Fingers 
obtuse or feebly swollen at the end, first as long as or a little 
longer than second, which measures f to f length of third; 
no subarticular tubercles ; no distinct metacarpal tubercles. 
Toes rather short, obtuse or feebly swollen at the end, with a 
mere rudiment of web or, at most, f webbed; no subarticular 
tubercles; a flat, very indistinct inner metatarsal tubercle. 
Tibio-tarsal articulation reaching the shoulder, the commissure of 
the jaws, or the temple; tibia § to i length from snout to vent; 
foot as long as or shorter than tibia. Skin of upper parts 
smooth or with scattered conical warts, old specimens with bony 
deposits on the head and anterior part of the back; a strong 
glandular fold from eye to shoulder, usually another on each side 
of the back ; upper eyelid with a sharp, raised edge, which is pro- 
duced into a more or less distinct point or “horn ;” this point may 
be very indistinct (var. aceras Blgr.), or very much developed, 
measuring nearly | diameter of eye ; as a rule it does not measure 
more than ^ diameter of eye; an indication of a similar appen- 
dage on the tip of the snout rarely present ; * a more or less 
developed pointed tubercle usually present behind the commis-

* In a specimen from Java, where the species is most abundant.’
