These interesting tailed Batrachia are quite common in the semi-stagnant 

 pools and lakes of the Western States and Territories, and a glance at the list 

 given will show that forty-three specimens were collected, not only in the 

 adult state, but the larval ; the list also shows the localities where collected.
