At the time when the description of B. lecontei was prepared the 

 limits of variation of the species were not as well understood as they 

 have since become from an examination of many specimens from differ- 

 ent localities. On this account the species was established on speci- 

 mens of small size, collected by Dr. Le Conte, but which I consider to 

 belong to the B. draytoni. The color above is a dark olive-brown, 

 with numerous uniformly distributed darker and well-defined circular 

 blotches about the size of the pupil, and most of them with a rather 

 lighter center. They are principally embraced within the lateral ridges, 

 though some are exterior to them. The buttocks are dark brown, with 

 well-defined spots and dots of yellowish, smallest near the anus. The 

 transverse bars on the legs are numerous, narrow, and well-defined, three 

 to five on the tibia. A narrow and well-defined greenish-white line along 

 the upper jaw from beneath the eye, and a lighter tinge along the lateral 

 ridge. Beneath yellowish, marbled with brown on the whole under and 

 inner surfaces.

Head oval; muzzle sloping to the lip. Diameter of tympanic mem- 

 brane equal distance between nares and between nostril and orbit, and 

 three-fourths the diameter of the orbit, or the distance from nares to 

 margin of lip in front. Vomerine teeth in fasciculi behind the line con- 

 necting the posterior borders of the choan?e. A dermal fold on each 

 side of the back, and a short one behind the angle of the mouth, with
