This, with the Iarj;c nunilu'r of costal ^Moovcs, ivndors it alMi(»st (joitain that the fiill-srown individuals are imich like those of the latter species, and very probably of near the same si/e. Skin ever;s .. Iiere <piite smooth ; no traces of pores on the head or paro- toid lejiion in many sjx'ciinens. Costal folds fonrteen, distinct; head folds slightly marked, the {,ndar sli]it.
