32. Scaphiopus holbrooki Harlan. 

 SOLITARY SPADEFOOT. 



On June 24, 1004, I collected a specimen of this species near Refugio, 

 Refugio County. This specimen is now in the collection of Baylor Uni- 

 versity and is probably the first to he recorded from the State. 



33. Scaphiopus couchii B. & G. 



COUCH'S SPADEFOOT. 



This is the common spadefoot of central, southern and western Texas. 

 I have found it very abundant during favorable seasons in McLennan, 

 Burnet, Bee and Refugio counties. Mr. C. M. Barber sent me specimens 

 collected at El Paso, with the information that it was quite common in 

 that locality. Cope 3 records it from Atascosa and Bexar counties and 

 Miss Dickerson 5 from Brownsville.

 from Victoria, .1. J. Carroll from Polk County. I have personally col-

 and Refugio counties. 



:'>7. Rana areolata areolata B. & (I. 



TEXAS GOPHER FROG. 



This species lias been collected at Indianola (Baird') and Hitchcock 

 ( Dickerson''). These localities are in the southeastern part of the State, 

 in the coast region. Rana areolata must be exceedingly rare as the two 

 localities mentioned are the only ones of which I can rind any record. 



38. Rana pipiens Schreber. 

 LEOPARD FROG. 



39. Rana sphenocephala Cope. 

 SOUTHERN LEOPARD FROG. 

 The literature relating to these two species (or varieties'.') is in such an
