  to 
  the

  and 
  

   along 
  the 
  Loire;

  The 
  species 
  has 
  quite 
  recently 
  been 
  recorded 
  from 
  

   Lenkoran, 
  south-west

  Caspian 
  Sea, 
  by 
  

   Zander.* 
  

  

  The 
  reported 
  occurrence 
  of 
  Felobaies 
  ftiscus 
  in 
  the 
  

   Cyclades 
  is 
  probably 
  to 
  be 
  ascribed 
  to 
  a 
  confusion 
  

   with 
  Bufo 
  viridis, 
  some 
  specimens 
  of 
  which 
  closely 
  

   resemble 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  their 
  markings. 
  

  

  The 
  specimens 
  represented 
  on 
  PI. 
  IX 
  are 
  from 
  the 
  

   environs 
  of 
  Turin, 
  presented 
  by 
  my 
  friend 
  Count 
  

   Peracca, 
  to 
  whom 
  I 
  am 
  indebted 
  for 
  so 
  much 
  material 
  

   utilised 
  in 
  the 
  preparation 
  of 
  this 
  work. 
  The 
  left- 
  

   hand 
  figure 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  female 
  ; 
  the 
  others 
  represent 
  

   males, 
  one 
  in 
  the 
  act 
  of 
  disappearing 
  under 
  the 
  sand, 
  

   another 
  in 
  the 
  irritated 
  attitude 
  described 
  above. 
  

  

  * 
  Dr. 
  Zander 
  kindly 
  informs 
  me 
  that 
  tbe 
  specimens 
  Lave 
  been 
  pre- 
  

   sented 
  by 
  him 
  to 
  the 
  Senckenberg 
  Musenm, 
  Frankfort 
  (M.), 
  and 
  that 
  

   his 
  determination 
  has 
  been 
  confirmed 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Boettger.
