Locality : Cerros Island, off tbe Pacific coast of Lower California. 

 Near a spring of fresh water on the southeastern side of the island. 

 Ground-color green ; a narrow, deep-brown band extending from the 

 nostril to the anterior margin of the orbit ; a broader band of the sam.e 

 color from the posterior border of the orbit to the sboulder ; the latter 

 band margined below by a narrow rim of orange about half the breadth 

 of the brown vitta ; the side of the body between the shoulder and 

 thigh spotted with brown ; a V-shaped spot of brown between the eyes; 

 two bands of the same color, one on either side the dorsal region, ex- 

 tending from the occiput to the sacrum ; an oblong spot on the middle 

 of the sacrum. The extremities ornamented with transverse series of 

 broad spots. The entire under surface of the body yellow. 



Heretofore this frog has been strictly confined to the Pacific region, 

 where it is quite common. This is the first notice we have of its living 

 in the Lower Californian region. The most southern locality whence it 

 has been obtained previous to this is Tejon Pass (Hallowell, P. A. N. 8. 

 Phila., 1852) in the southern portion of Alta California.
