'I HE BATEACHIA OF NORTH AMERICA. 



271 



♦ 



AUeu's liypothesis, based on observations made on mammalia and birds, 

 that dark pigment increases witli increase of liumidity. 



In its eastern distribution this species is not linown to jjass tlie limits 

 of tlie Rocky Mountains. Capt. Charles Beudire, U. S. Army, has sent 

 it from Fort Walla Walla, Wash. Ter., and I took it at Atlanta, Idaho, 

 the most eastern locality known. It is abundant throughout the entire 

 lake region of Oregon. 



It is especially numerous at Klamath Lake, where it covers the ba- 

 saltic blocks which lie partially in the water, concealed by theTyphtTe, 

 which grow from the bottom. They accumulate there in large piles, 

 sometimes as large as a bushel measure, and afford abundant food for the 

 EutiTBuiie, which are scarcely less abundant. I saw one specimen of this 

 toad as large as the average Bufo marinus of Brazil, and a specimen 

 seen at Warner's Lake, Oregon, was but little smaller. 



Bufo colwmhieiisis Baird.
