Edge of the upper jaw in some degree horizontally dilated and covered with a horny deposit. A low ridge round the eye studded with spiny tubercles ; a horny ridge on the anterior part of the canthus rostralis extending above the nostril nearly to the tip of the snout, not confluent with that on the other side and separated behind from the circumorbital ridge by some spiny tubercles ; below the nostril a short ridge furnished with a horny crust; close to the posterior part of the circumorbital ridge there are spiny tubercular rows, indicating a short orbitotympanic and an obliquely inward directed parietal ridge. Interorbital space concave, little broader than the upper eyelid, * studded with a few scattered tubercles. The smooth tympanum not very distinct, its horizontal diameter shorter than a half of the width of the eye. First finger not or slightly extending beyond second ; toes half webbed ; subarticular tubercles on the fourth toe double ; two moderate metatarsal tubercles ; tarsal fold absent, tarsus studded all over with sharp spiny tubercles.
