distributed salamander in Tennessee," and records specimens 

 from Samburg and Raleigh. 



Enrycca bislincata cirrigcra (Green). — One specimen, iden- 

 tified as this form by Dr. E. R. Dunn, was taken near Henry 

 (University of Michigan, No. 53543). It was found in a soft 

 rotted log in damp lowland woods along with a specimen of 

 DcsiiiognatJius fiiscns fus'cus. 



Eurycea gutto-lincata (Holbrook). — Nineteen specimens 

 were taken near Henry in low woods under damp logs, and 

 Professor Ruthven took six at Moscow, Fayette County. 



Eurycea longicauda (Green). — A specimen in the National 

 Museum (No. 45959) from Big Sandy is identified as. this 

 form by Dr. E. R. Dunn. 



Pseudotriton ruber ruber (Sonnini). — One of the less com- 

 ijion salamanders ; found in the same situations as Desmog- 

 nathus fnscus fuscus. Eight examples were taken at Henry 

 and one at Como. 



Dcsmognathus fuscus fuscus (Rafinesque). — This salaman- 

 der was found to be abundant near Henry in woods at edges 

 of springs, ponds, and swamps, under wet leaves or logs that 

 rested partly in the water. It has apparently not hitherto 

 been recorded from so far west. Fifty-four specimens of all 

 sizes were secured. 



Bufo fou'icri Garman. — All of the toads examined from 

 western Tennessee, fifteen in number, appear to belong to this 

 species. They were found to be very common in the vicinity 

 of Henry, and in view of the unsatisfactory state of our 

 knowledge of the systematic status of the toads it is regretted 

 that a larger series was not taken. They are called "toad- 

 frogs" by the people near Henry.
