REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS OF TEXAS 53 



166. BUFO LENTIGINOSUS AMERICANUS Le Conte. American 



Toad. 

 Eastern Texas, limits of range not known at the 

 present time. In the middle section grades into the 

 larger, darker and shorter-headed woodhousii. I 

 have captured typical examples of americanus at 

 Austin, Burnet, Dallas, Fort Worth, Glen Rose, Mor- 

 gan, Mineola, Tyler, Refugio, Taylor, Palacios, 

 Gatesville, San Antonio, Houston, Cleveland, Marlin, 

 Calvert, Bryan and Waco. Mr. Mitchell records it 

 from Victoria. Miss Dickerson's specimen of wood- 

 housii illustrated in the "Frog Book," is either an 

 unusually large, dark specimen of americanus or an 

 intermediate form between the two. 



167. BUFO LENTIGINOSUS WOODHOUSII Baird and Girard. 



Woodhouse's Toad. 

 Woodhousii is a toad of the mountains and can- 

 yons, and it is not likely that typical specimens will 

 be found to occur in any but the extreme western 

 portion of the State. Cope records it from Claren- 

 don under the name of Bufo lentiginosus, variety. 

 Mr. C. M. Barber sent me several from El Paso and 

 I have a number of others which I personally col- 

 lected in the mountainous districts in Brewster and 

 Jeff Davis Counties.

168. ScAPHioPUS HURTERii Strccker. Hurter's Solitary 



Spadefoot. 

 Known only from Waco, the type locality, and Re- 

 fugio. If this, as has been suggested, is merely a 

 form of holbrookii, it is certainly distinct enough to 

 entitle it to a sub-specific name. It is one of the 

 rarest of Texas amphibians. 



169. SCAPHIOPUS coucHii Baird and Girard. Couch's 



Spadefoot. 

 Southern Texas, west along the Rio Grande Val-
