15. Bufo lentiginosus americanus Le Conte. 



AMERICAN TOAD. 



Abundant in all sections of the State, excepting the extreme western 

 part. I have personally collected it as far south as Refugio County and 

 as far west as Burnet. 



](i. Bufo lentiginosus woodhousei B. ct(i. 



WOODHOUSE'S TOAD. 



I have collected this subspecies in Jeff Davis and Brewster counties, and 

 Mr. C. M. Barber has sent me specimens from El Paso. The specimen 

 from Fort Worth, figured on plate xxv of Miss Mary ('. Dickerson's 

 "Frog Book," is not my conception of woodhousei as represented in the 

 Baylor University collection by specimens from Utah, New Mexico and 

 El Paso. Large overgrown specimens of a dark c< »lored form of american us 

 are exceedingly common in central Texas, in districts below rive hundred 

 feet elevation. The variability of the central Texas toads of this type is 

 exceedingly great. One form is very like cognatus in many respect-.* 



17. Bufo valliceps Wieg. 



WIEGMANN'S TOAD. 



This toad is more or less common in all the counties bordering on the 

 Gulf, from Louisiana to the mouth of the Rio Grande. In the interior I 

 have collected it as far north as Bosque County and west to- Llano. My 

 specimens are from the following counties: Victorio, Refugio and Bee 

 (southern); Bosque, McLennan, Burnet and Llano (central). 



18. Engystoma carolinense Holbrook. 



NARR( IW-MOUTHED TOAD. 



The range of this interesting batrachian is extensive, covering fully two- 

 thirds of the State. The only sections from which I have no records are 

 the Pan Handle and the western mountain district. 



Northern: Paris ( Hurter), Dallas (Cope 3 ). 



Central: McLennan, Falls, Burnet and Robertson counties. 



AVest-eentral : Fort C< >ncho ( C< >pe 3 ) . 



Southern and southeastern : Victoria ( 'ounty ( Mitchell), Hitchcock, Gal- 

 veston County (Dickerson 5 ), Houston and San Antonio (Cope 5 ), Refugio 

 County. 



19. Engystoma texense Girard. 



TEXAS NARROW-MOUTHED TOAD. 



Type specimen from Bio Seco, Texas (Capt. Pope 5 ). Miss Dickerson 

 mentions specimens from San Diego, Duval County (Taylor) and Browns- 

 ville, Cameron County. All of these localities are in the southern part of 

 the State. I have some doubts as to the validity of this form as a distinct 



* Bufo aduncus Cope (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1889, No. 34. i>. 157), based on a single 

 specimen collected at Gainesville, (ooke County, is here omitted. This specimen, for- 

 merly I", s. Nat. Mus. No. 14,100, has been lost. Cope's description indicates a very 

 peculiar variation from the americanus group, if not a distinct species.
