Ran a Pipa. Surinam Toad. Head very broad, and fhort: at 
each corner of the mouth a fmall projected piece of fkin: upper 
parts dufky, covered with numerous minute black pimples: under 
parts a dirty yellow, the belly marked dow T n the middle with a 
dulky ftripe: four long unwebbed toes to the fore feet, divided at 
the end into four parts: five webbed toes to the hind feet. 
This extraordinary animal inhabits Guiana, where it is called 
Pipa. The mode by which it propagates its fpecies, is perhaps 
peculiar to it, the young being bred in the back of the male, 
where the female depofits her eggs.
