TEXAN HERPETOLOGY 



AMPHIBIA. 



Ambystoma microstomum Cope. Small-mouthed Salamander. 



I have one specimen collected near Marble Falls. 

 Ambystoma tigrinum Green. Tiger Salamander. 



Mr. Chamberlain collected an example of this salamander near Burnet. 



Scaphiopus couchii Baird and Girard. Couch's Spadefoot. 



Near Spring Creek, a single example of this species was found half-buried 

 in moist earth under an old log. It is said to be common in wet weather. 

 This is on the authority of Chamberlain, who has helped me capture specimens 

 of this spade-foot at Waco. 

 Bufo lentiginosus americanus Le Conte. American Toad. 



Somewhat common. 

 Bufo valliceps Wiegmann. Nebulous Toad. 



Specimens were collected at Sherrard's Ranch, White Eagle Mine, Morgan 

 Caynon, and in a dry wash on Post Mountain. 



Bufo punctatus Baird and Girard. Spotted Toad. 



I found one specimen of this toad in a hollow log on the Sherrard Ranch 

 and a second one was captured in a gutter in Burnet during a heavy shower. 



Bufo debilis Girard. Green Toad. 



Two immature specimens. One was found hopping along a water-filled 

 rut in the Fort Mason road ; the other was found under a stone near the White 

 Eagle Mine. 

 Bufo compactilis Wieg. Spade-foot Toad. 



Near Lion Mountain, a half-grown specimen of this toad was found under a 

 stone lying along the road-side. 

 Rana pipiens Kalm. Leopard Frog. 



Leopard frogs from a tank near Post Mountain are typical pipiens. 



Rana sphenocephala Cope. Southern Leopard Frog. 



Several leopard frogs collected on the Morgan have the long snout and 

 limbs, white spot in the middle of the tympanum, and peculiar coloration of 

 this species. 

 Rana catesbiana Shaw. Bull Frog. 



I shot a half-grown example in Delaware Creek. This was the only one 

 observed by me. 

 Acris gryllus crepitans Baird. Western Cricket Frog. 



Very abundant along all of the water-courses. 

 Hyla cinerea Daudin. Green Tree Frog. 



One example from near Delaware Spring. It was found at the end of a
