1 Warner Creek, 8000 ft., Lassen Peak. 3 Sisson, Siskiyou Co. 
2 Warner Creek, 6600 ft., Lassen Peak. 4 Hot Springs Valley, Plumas Co. 
Range. — Rama pretiosa pretiosa has been found at the south in 
California at Hot Springs Valley and on Warner Creek at 6600 and 
8000 feet on the slopes of Mount Lassen in Shasta County (Mus. 
Vert. Zool.). A specimen taken at “Summit Johnson’s Pass, Sierra 
Nevada” in September, 1863, by J. G. Cooper (now no. 8263, Mus. 
Vert. Zool.) is probably to be referred to this species. Pretiosa has 
also been found at Sisson (Grinnell and Camp, 1917, p. 148). I can 
find no record for pretiosa in Oregon west of the Cascades. Nothing 
is known of the frog population of that range. The pretiosa. stock 
in eastern Oregon probably all pertains to subspecies luteiventris. 
In Washington, pretiosa has been found at Crescent Lake, Clallam 
County (Meek, 1899, pp. 232-233), at Seattle (Dickerson, 1906, p. 
219), on Mount Rainier (Van Denburgh, 1912c, p. 259; Calif. Acad. 
Sci.), and at Springdale, Stevens County (Blanchard, 1921, p. 6). 
In British Columbia, pretiosa has been recorded at Surnas Prairie 
(Boulenger, 1882a;, pp. 43-44), at Sicamous and Field (Cope, 1893, 
p. 182), and at Watson Lake, Meadow Lake, and Clinton (Patch, 1922, 
p. 78). The Museum of Vertebrate Zoology has specimens taken in 
British Columbia on the Skeena River at Hazelton and in the Kispiox 
Valley adjacent, during the summer of 1921, and on the Stikine River 
near Telegraph Creek, at Flood Glacier, and at Doch-da-on Creek, 
obtained during 1919. At the mouth of the latter river, in south- 
eastern Alaska, pretiosa was found in 1919 on Sergief Island. This
