Rufous brown above, with a pale longitudinal dorsal streak, broad in front, narrow towards the posterior end; limbs above somewhat indistinctly variegated and banded with darker brown, posterior side of femora with closer and darker variegations. Lower side uniform whitish, except a few dark spots on the lower lip, but the front-end of the lower lip has a conspicuous white spot, as stated by Blyth. The nostrils are much nearer the snout than the eye ; the tym- panum is smaller than the eye, but quite distinct in a nearly full grown specimen ; skin above and at the sides of the belly with few scattered slightly enlarged tubercles; lower side perfectly smooth. The first and second fingers are slightly shorter than the third and fourth respectively; the second is shortest. The metatarsus has a single, inner, marginal, elongated tubercle. The first and fifth toes are fringed externally, but the tarsus has no fold. The toes are entirely webbed and their tips very distinctly swollen. The length of the body equals the distance from the vent to half the length of the tarsus. f See Peters, in “ Monatsb. Berlin Akad.,” 1871, p. 579.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2935349x_0001_0110.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
