  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Pipa  \Pi*pa\,  n.;  pl  {Pipas}.  (Zo["o]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.
