2. BUFO SPINULOSUS Wiegmann.

3. BUFO INCA Stejneger. 



A single specimen from Idjua, 6,000 feet, October, 1915 (U.S.N.M. 

 No. 60771). 



Stejneger has kindly compared this specimen with his type and 

 has informed us by letter that the two specimens " agree in all 

 essential points, even to that of the size of the specimens." In the 

 present specimen " the snout is possibly a triflle less protruding, the 

 postorbital crest less definite, though even in the type the crest is 

 not well pronounced. The hind legs * * * are also slightly 

 shorter [than in the type] and the tubercles on the underside of the 

 tarso-metatarsus less developed." 



In the original description the notes on the coloration M^ere acci- 

 dentally omitted. The specimen before us is slightly darker than 

 the type, but Stejneger tells us that the color pattern is much the 

 same. 



The coloration in our specimen is as follows: Ground color (in 

 alcohol) a pale fleshy pink or gray; a pale vertebral stripe of the 

 same color; the whole upper surface covered with a zigzag pattern 

 of black and brown ; of this pattern the most distinct figure is a dark 

 brown, black-edged cross extending from the eyelids to the mid- 

 dorsal region and cut mesially by the light vertebral line; the pos- 

 terior extremities of this cross-like figure continue to the inguinal 

 region as a more or less well-defined pair of dark stripes; below these 

 stripes on either side another black line extends from above the tym- 

 panum, across the paratoid gland to the inguinal region; a light 

 colored dorso-lateral stripe is present on either side between the dark 

 stripes; hind limbs irregularly but conspicuously cross-barred; 

 ground color of ventral surface a pale yellow ; throat and chest rather 

 heavily marbled with dark brown, the marks decreasing in number 

 posterity. 



Bt/fo inca is apparently a close ally of Bufo ochendoni. To judge 

 from the descriptions, we are inclined to consider them so ciosely
