A well-marked variety of this subspecies, or i^erhaps a distiuct sub- 

 species, is represeuted by two specimens from Micauoi^y, Fla., Avhicli 

 were obtaiued by Dr. Beau. The distiuguishiug peculiarity consists 

 in the conversion of the superciliary ridges into flattened thickenings 

 of the cranium, which meet or nearly meet on the middle line of the 

 fronto-parietal region. They unite, leaving a faint line to mark the 

 junction in the larger female, while in the smaller male they form two 

 beveled surfaces, which unite on the middle line at an obtuse angle. 

 Posteriorly they, with the postorbital ridges, have a straight trans- 

 verse boundary. The metatarsal internal digital spur is as well de- 

 veloped as in many of the typical specimens, but the plantar tu- 

 bercle is small. The web of the foot is well developed, reaching the 

 end of the first (proximal) phalange. It only reaches to the middle of 

 the proximal ijhalange in the B. 1. americanus. The color is somewhat 

 peculiar, having a general clouded appearance above, without the well- 

 defined spots of the typical subspecies Americanus. There is a pale 

 band from one palpebral border to the other across the front. The me- 

 dian dorsal line is indistinct. Size that of fully grown B. I. americanus. 

 This form may be calletl Bufo Icntiginosus jpacJiycepJialus.
