This species of toad is nearly related to the B, punctatus and agrees with it in most respects. The form of the head and the characters of the skin are quite the same; so is the form of the posterior foot. The differences are well marked, and are as follows : The length of the head is contained in the total more than four times. The first finger is shorter than the second. The hind leg is shorter, the end of the tarsus only reaching the posterior border of the tympanum when the leg is extended. The form and dimensions of the parotoid gland are very different. The gland is very large, extending jiosteriorly to an acuminate extremity which is a little beyond above the axilla. The superior borders of the glands are divergent, so that the total width at their apices is one and one-half times the width of the head at the tympana.
