Streclri — -Annotated List of the Batrachia of Texas. 55 



5. Ambystoma tigrinum Green. 



TIGER SALAMANDER. 



The southern, west-central and western portions of the State. Cope re- 

 ferred a specimen from El Paso, in the National collection, to the west- 

 ern subspecies, A. tigrinum californiense Gray. Another one from San 

 Elizario, El Paso County, was recorded under the head of typical tigrinum. 



The only record I can find for any locality in southern Texas is that of 

 Baird and Girard in Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., VI., Oct., 1852, p. 173. 

 ( Description of the type specimen of Ambystoma prosperina B. & G. , from 

 the Salado River, one of the tributaries of the Neuces, in the southern 

 part of the State. ) 



In addition to the above localities, I have seen specimens from Lampasas 

 and Burnet counties (west-central) and Garza (western). 



6. Ambystoma microstomum Cope. 



SMALL-MOUTHED SALAMANDER. 



This species is quite common in some sections of the State. Tbe follow- 

 ing are the published records, with the addition of my own : 



Northern: Paris, Lamar County (Hurter); Dallas, Dallas County 

 (Cope 3 ). 



North-central : McLennan and Falls counties. 



West-central : Burnet County. 



Southern and southwestern : Houston, Harris County (Cope 3 ); Vic- 

 toria County (Mitchell), Refugio County. 



7. Ambystoma texanus Mattbes. 



TEXAN SALAMANDER. 

 Central and southern Texas. I have not seen tbe original description 

 of Matthes' Salamandra texana, and have no record of the type locality. 

 Baird' s^specimens from the "Lower Rio Grande " may refer to the series 

 of eleven [specimens collected at San Antonio by Col. J. D. Graham 4 

 (U. S. Nat. Mus. collection). McLennan County, one specimen. 



8. Plethodon glutinosus Green. 



VISCID SALAMANDER. 



This species doubtless has a wide range in the State, but published 

 records of its capture are exceedingly rare. 



New Braunfels, Comal County (Capt. Van Vliet*). 



Bexar County. (Cope 3 , "It is found on the first plateau as far as 

 Helotes.") 



McLennan County. 



9. Diemyctylus viridescens Raf. 



AMERICAN NEWT. 



Mr. Mitchell informs me that this species occurs in Victoria County 

 (specimens identified by Dr. Stejneger). 



A specimen of the form miniatus in the U. S. National Museum collec- 

 tion, collected by Dr. B. F. Shumard, is labeled "Brazos River, Texas."
