Naturw., LVIII, 1885. p. 243. Two specimens ; a female (length 38'5 mm.) and a male (lenght 31 mm. from snout to vent). Form stout. Head short, much broader than long. Tongue small, elliptic, entire and free behind. Vomerine teeth none. Snout short, blunt and high, rounded on its tip, as long as the diameter of the eye; can thus rostralis none : nostril as far from the eye as from the edge of the upper lip, much nearer to the tip of the snout. Interorbital space as broad as the upper eyelid or narrower. Tympanum hidden. Fingers moderate, free ; first slightly shorter than second, fourth equal with the first ; subarticular tubercles strong ; a smaller inner and a much larger outer metacarpal tubercle, both elliptic ; palmar surface with minute, but distinct tubercles. Toes rather short, with a more or less distinct fringe on each side and a slight rudiment of web ; third toe longer than fifth ; subarticular tubercles strong, but smaller than under the fingers ; plantaisurface quite smooth : two large, showel-sliaped metatarsal tubercles, covered with a blackish-brown horny deposit, especially on the broadly rounded edge, as well as the tip and the subarticular tubercle of the first toe ; a distinct subconical tubercle near the middle of the tarsus, closer to the lower edge than to the upper one and covered with a horny crust; tibio-tarsal articulation does not reach the eye. Back with oval and round flat glands, larger ones between and behind the upper eyelids, on the scapular and sacral region. Lumbar glands flat, sligthly prominent, but a cross-section through the skin shows large oval glands close together below the epidermis, forming in both sexes* a slightly elevated oval cushion, twice as long as the diameter of the eye. No tarsal fold ; a strong ventral discoidal fold. Male without external vocal sacs. Coloration. Bright brownish-grey above, with sharply pronounced * Dr. STEINDACHNER remarks : «zuweilen eine Lendendrüse (beim Weibchen)»,
