13. Mouth of Russian River, California. 



This locality is one hundred miles north of San Francisco. 

 The collection was made by myself, in and on the border of the 

 great redwood forest which there covers the hills and mountains 

 of the coast range. 

 Batrachoseps attenuatus Esch. Abundant. 

 Plethodon oregonensis Gird. 



Abundant, and especially pleasing from its liquid, prominent 

 e^^es. Always under the redwoods. 



Cynops torosus Esch. 



Abundant. This species is entirely aquatic. 



Rana temporaria aurora B. and G. Rana draytoni B. and G. /{ana longipes Hallow. 



Not distinguishable as a species, in my opinion, from the Bana 

 temporaria of the palaearctic realm. 

 Gerrhonotus multicarinatus Blv. 

 Eutaenia sirtalis elegans B. and G. 



14. Los Angeles, California. 



Two collections from this locality are before me. One of these 

 was made by Mr. DeCorse, Hospital Steward, at Drum Barracks, 

 and was sent to the Smithsonian Institution. Prof. Baird sub- 

 mitted it to me for determination. The second collection was 

 given me by Mr. Horatio N. Rust, the archaeologist, who made 

 it at Passadena, a short distance from the city. 



Cjrnops torosus Bscb. Rust. 

 Batraohoseps attenuatus Esch. Rust. 

 Phrynosoma blainvillii Gray. DeCorse. 

 Soeloporus undulatus thayeri B. and G. Rust. 

 Uta stanaburiana B. and G. 



as fi'om California, where it was supposed to have been collected by Dr. J. L. 

 Leconte. I, however, subsequently obtained it from East Tennessee, and 

 as Dr. Leconte had collected it in Georgia, it was supposed by Dr. Wood 

 that the locality California was an error. Its rediscovery on the McCloud 

 River shows that this species is found on the Pacific coast, as originally 

 stated by Wood, and that it ranges over the width of the continent. In 

 like manner a myriapod which I sent Mr. Ryder from the Russian River, 

 is stated by him to be much like Andrognathus Cope, a genus heretofore 

 known from the Alleghenies of Virginia.
