Fm. 01. Bvfo debilis. No. 2620. Chihuahua, Mex.; #. 



This species of toad is nearly related to the B, punctatus and agrees 

 with it in most respects. The form of the head and the characters of 

 the skin are quite the same; so is the form of the posterior foot. The 

 differences are well marked, and are as follows : The length of the head 

 is contained in the total more than four times. The first finger is shorter 

 than the second. The hind leg is shorter, the end of the tarsus only 

 reaching the posterior border of the tympanum when the leg is extended. 

 The form and dimensions of the parotoid gland are very different. The 

 gland is very large, extending jiosteriorly to an acuminate extremity 

 which is a little beyond above the axilla. The superior borders of the 

 glands are divergent, so that the total width at their apices is one and 

 one-half times the width of the head at the tympana. The inferior out- 

 line presents the apex of a very obtuse angle downwards at a point 

 posterior to the tympanic drum and on a level with its inferior border. 

 The inferior surfaces are more distinctly granular than in the B, puno- 

 tahis. Metatarsal tubercles insignificant; the internal, subconic.
