Yomerine teeth in two small oblique groups extending a little beyond the hinder edge of the choanaa. Head moderate, much depressed ; snout very short, rounded ; eanthus rostralis indistinct; interorbital space nearly as broad as the upper eyelid; tympa- num rather small, hidden. Fingers moderate, first not extending beyond second; toes moderate, truncate, entirely webbed ; subar- ticular tubercles of fingers and toes not much developed; inner metatarsal tubercle oval, little prominent; no outer tubercle. The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the tip of the snout or beyond. Skin smooth above, seldom warty ; a strong fold of the skin above the tympanum, and another, sometimes indistinct, uniting the hinder edges of the upper eyelids; a narrow glandular fold on each side of the back. Brown above; a black line on the eanthus rostralis and on the temporal region; lateral folds black-margined ; legs indistinctly barred across. Male with two internal vocal sacs. The breeding male is remarkable by the extreme thickness of its fore arms, the inner sides of which are studded with small conical black spines, each supported on a rounded base produced by a swelling of the skin. A large patch of similar spines exists on each side of the breast; the whole inner side of the inner metacarpal tubercle and of the first and second digits, and the base of the third digit also, bear simi
