I have also this species from near Salem, in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, so that it probably occurs tbroughoiit the entire Pacific region, PLETHODON CRASSULUS Cope. Plate Lxxxi, fig. 1. Proceed. Auier. Pbilosopb. Soc, 18d6, p. 521. This specii^s has a superficial resemblance to the P. oregonensis, but its manifold differences are easily perceived. The form is quite robust, and the head is large, its width going into the length to the thighs only fi^ve times. The tail is very much com- pressed from the base, and is also shallow ; its length equals the dis- tance from its base to the gular fold. The legs are robust, but not very long; when appressed to the side they fail to meet by the length of the posterior foot. The tongue is large, filling the floor of the mouth. The vomeropala- tine teeth are in two short series, which converge backwards, without coming into contact, from behind the internal eye of thechoana3. The parasphenoid teeth are in a single undivided patch, which commences well behind the vomeroi)alatines. The maxillary and mandibular teeth are minute. 3 5 Fig. S4.—Plcthodon crassulus. Ko. 9447. California: ^tf Q 7 The head viewed from above is oval; in profile the muzzle is thick and truncate, and projects beyond the mouth. The edge of the lip is slightly angulate below the nares. The eye is rather large, its length equaling that of Ihe muzzle. The distance between the nostrils isequa to that between the bases of the ejelids at their middles. The toes are short and free, one phalange of the first digit on each foot project- ing. The ends of the toes are obtuse and bulbiform. A gular fold.
