From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Pipa \Pi*pa\, n.; pl. {Pipas}. (Zo[94]l.)
      The Surinam toad ({Pipa Americana}), noted for its peculiar
      breeding habits.
  
      Note: The male places the eggs on the back of the female,
               where they soon become inclosed in capsules formed by
               the thickening of the skin. The incubation of the eggs
               takes place in the capsules, and the young, when
               hatched, come forth with well developed legs.
