ANOTHER RECORD FOR ASCAPHUS 

 TRUEI STEJNEGER. 



There have been, to the writer's knowledge, but 

 two additional records for the American Bell Toad, 

 Ascaphus trueij since the report of the capture of the 

 single original specimen (the type of a new genus 

 and the only member of the family Discoglossidae 

 known from the Western Hemisphere). The type 

 was found nineteen years ago at Humptulips, Che- 

 halis County, in southwestern Washington. In. 1906 

 the species was discovered on the southeast slope of 

 Mount Ranier at an altitude of 6,000 feet, and was 

 taken later on the same mountain at 4,861 feet alti- 

 tude on the southwest side/ 



Dr. A. C. Chandler of the Oregon Agricultural 

 College, Corvallis, Oregon, has recently sent the 

 writer a specimen of Ascaphus truei taken in Oregon. 

 Dr. Chandler's specimen was captured on Red Creek 

 in the Santiam National Forest, Linn County, Ore- 

 gon, at an altitude of 3,000 feet. The district is a 

 heavily forested one; and trees common in the local- 

 ity are Douglas Fir, Coast Hemlock and Pinus mon- 

 ticola. The "toad" was found at the edge of the 

 creek which is here a cold, swift mountain-stream. 



Judging from the cartilaginous condition of the 

 limb bones and the skull-roof and the small size the
