BATUACUIA SAL1£NTIA. 59 



the Erpctoloyieyeiuirale, where the species is confounded with B. cala- 

 mtta, frequently found in the north of Gennany and in this country. 

 B. viridls is closely allied to B. panthennm, and the circumstance 

 of both being found together in North Afiica has almost alone pre- 

 vented me from uniting the species.

There are moreover in the Collection two specimens belonging to 

 Dr. Smith's Bufo angvsticeps, the condition of which docs not allow 

 me to give an exact diagnosis ; but I am rather disposed to consider 

 this species as identical with B. panthennus.
