Rana draytonii B. & G. 



Except that the dorso-lateral ridge is probably less de- 

 veloped, the frogs which Mr. Stowell collected on San 

 Pedro Martir Mt. seem to agree in structural characters 

 with specimens of Rana draytonii from San Francisco, 

 Oakland and Monterey, California. The dark dorsal 

 blotches, however, are indistinct, small, and much less 

 numerous than in typical, R. draytonii, and the light spots 

 on the posterior surfaces of the thighs are more regular 

 and distinct. Two specimens from Colton, San Bernard- 

 ino Co., Cal., agree in color with the Lower Californian 

 frogs, and one of the examples from Monterey is not very 

 dissimilar.
