. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. 168 NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 2 88 posterior border not free and not notched. Snout short, ovate when viewed from above, sloping in profile, the upper jaw extending slightly beyond lower; nostrils more lateral than superior, not projecting, their distance from end of snout about one-third that from eye, separated from each other by an interval equal to about two-thirds their distance from eye. Can thus rostralis well defined; loreal region concave and very oblique, the upper lip flaring out below it. Eye moderate, prominent, its diameter equal to its distance from nostril; interorbital distance about equal the width of upper eyelid, which is relatively wide, definitely greater than distance between nostrils. Tympanum moderately distinct, about one-third the diameter of eye, separated from eye by a distance nearly equal to twice its own di- ameter. Fingers with a trace of web at base, fourth finger considerably longer than second, reaching to disk of third, which more than covers the tympanic area; an external swelling indicating a rudiment of a pollex. Toes slightly more than one-half webbed, web reaching middle of antepenultimate phalanx of fourth toe, third and fifth toes sub- equal, disk of fourth toe covering the tympanic area; a distinct oval inner, but no distinct outer, metatarsal tubercle; no tarsal ridge; no dermal appendage on heel. Body moderately elongate for a Gastrotheca, in postaxillary region definitely narrower than greatest width of head;. Figure 10.—Gastrotheca cornutum, CNHM 63892 (same size)..
