Order BATRACHIA ANURA. 

 Fam. BUFONIDiE. 



4. Bufo vulgaris Laur. Common Toad. 



Generally distributed and abundant. 



5. Bufo calamita Laur. Natterjack Toad. 



Only known in one locality — Mytton, on the Lancashire 

 border. It has there been noticed by Mr. Thos. Altham 

 for thirty years, but is not common, and is known by 

 the name of 'harrow-toad.' This species I have the plea- 

 sure of adding to the Yorkshire fauna on the authority of 

 Mr. F. S. Mitchell.
