 Bana iemporaria var. agilis Schreib, Herp. Eur., p. 125. 



Yomerine teetli in two oblique oval groups, extending beyond the 

 hinder edge of the choanse. Head depressed; snout rather elongate, 

 subacuminate; interorbital space narrower than the upper eyelid; 

 tympanum very nearly as large as the eye; close to it. Fingers moder- 

 ate, first extending beyond second; toes at least two-thirds webbed; 

 subarticular tubercles of fingers and toes much developed ; inner meta- 

 tarsal tubercle rounded, blunt, rather strong; a small outer tubercle. 

 A narrow glandular lateral fold. Above grayish-brown, dark-spotted; 

 a very dark temporal spot; a light lice on the lip from the tip of the 

 snout to the extremity of the temporal spot ; hind limbs regularly cross- 

 barred; beneath immaculate. Male without vocal sacks. (Boulenger.) 

 France, Switzerland, North Italy, Greece. 



Like the Bana temporaria, this species has its representative on the 

 western coast of North America, which differs from it in some minor 

 characters. This form has been named Bana, aurora by Baird and 

 Girard, and I regard it as a subspecies of the B. agilis. The two 

 forms differ only in coloration, as follows: 



Black ear-patch well defined ; dorsal spots distinct, comparatively large ; hind limbs 

 ■with distinct cross-bars B. a. agilis. 



Ear-patch not dark-colored nor well defined ; dorsal spots usually minute, or wanting 

 ing; cross-bars of hind limbs verv indistinct B. a. aurora.
