The head is eon- siderably more pointed. The nostriLs, beinji a little more in advance than in Feriarnm, are still over the end of the lower jaw, although tiio projection of the upper jaw is greater than in the latter. The distance between the anterior eanthi of the orbits is more tlian half that between the rami, and this latter distance less than the ciiord of either ramus. The tympanum is small, less than half the diameter of the eye ; iis an- terior border on a line with the angle of the month. The granulation of this species is very distinct, e.\tending over the whole body, except on the interior faces of the hind legs. Jt is most couspicuous and distinct beneath, and is seen on the under face of the arms, especially evident in the palms of thehamls. The tongue is rather thinner than usual in Feriarnm and free for a greater distance behind, less emarginated posteriorly. The inner nares are circular and nearer the anterior eanthus orbitaiis than the external uostril. The vomerine teeth are considerably within and behind the ceuters of the posterior nares.
