Measurements. — No. 4364, Mus. Vert. Zool. (type), $, Santa Paula, 
Ventura Co., May 22, 1912: head-and-body length 63.6 millimeters; 
length of head 17.7 ; width of head 25.0 ; orbit 8.5 ; interorbital space 
4.6; forearm 16.6; hand 16.0; femur 25.7; tibia 24.6; tarsus 15.0; 
whole foot 43.0. 
Range. — Only two specimens of this toad have been taken to date. 
One was taken in Tujunga Wash near Sunland, Los Angeles County, 
on April 1, 1904. The second (type) specimen was taken at Santa 
Paula as above. Camp (1915, p. 332) says: 
The type was found on a lawn in the middle of town, about eight o ’clock in 
the evening. The Santa Paula district is about sixty miles east [actually about 
forty miles west] of the San Fernando Valley (where the other specimen of this 
subspecies was found), and a mountain spur about one thousand feet in elevation 
separates the two localities of capture. Both localities lie within the San Diegan 
faunal area in the Lower Sonoran life-zone, as the latter has been delimited in 
California. Both localities are of semi-arid character, and the streams are inter- 
mittent in the arroyos near which each of these toads was captured.
