APODA 

 Caecilia ochrocephala Cope. 



I have not taken this myself, but have seen it alive on the 

 Island. A good many have been taken in various digging opera- 

 tions around the laboratory. It apparently goes as far as ten feet 

 underground. Coecilia sabogae Barbour from Saboga Island is 

 a synonym. 



CAUDATA 



Oedipus lignicolor (Peters). 

 This has been taken on the Rio Tapia, Prov. Panama. 



Oedipus complex Dunn. 



One young one was taken under debris along the Donato trail, 

 Dec. 13. 



Oedipus parvipes (Peters). 



I have five records from the Island, pretty well scattered. 

 One taken on the Lutz trail July 18, was crossing the path at 

 night during a drizzle. The others were all found under debris 

 in the daytime. 



SALIENTIA 

 Bufo haematiticus Cope. 



This has been taken at Margharetta (Camp Mary Caretta) 

 and at Rio Chillibrillo in the Canal Zone. It is apparently rather 

 rare there, although it is common enough to the east and to the 

 west. 



Bufo granulosus Spix. 



The most northern record is from the Rio Calobre. 



Bufo typhonius (Linn6). 



I am not sure I should use this name for the common Island 

 and Panama species. It never has crests so developed as the 

 South American type, in spite of the fact that adult breeding 

 males and females have been taken. It was calling the night of 

 December 9 at Zetek 3, and a mated pair were taken there on the 

 10th. The call is a low purr. I have many records for the island. 



Bufo coniferus Cope. 

 This has been taken at Gatun and on the upper Trinidad river.
