In the specimens before me the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches to the anterior border of the orbit; first finger is shorter than second; there is a large metacarpal pad, and two metatarsal tubercles, the inner one being almost as long as the diameter of the largest digital disk, though narrower; on the lower half of the tarsus a very distinct fold, which is a continuation of the lateral narrow fringe of the inner toe, extending from the base of the latter obliquely across the underside of the tarsus to the median line. The blackish lateral band is very broad between shoulder and groin, and semidivided lengthwise by a whitish line extending forward somewhat obliquely from the groin; a blackish longitudinal streak on anterior face of upper arm.
