The type (No. 2G18) is a uniform light brown above and yellowish-white below, in two otlier specimens from the same locality tbe dorsal tubercles are , with a dark ring at the base. The latter is the prevalent coloration, for while there are six specimens which show it, there is only one other of the uniform brown tint. Specimens from Cape St. Lucas have red warts, with a black ring at the base, and have the ground color of the sides black besides. The hinder extremities have large blackish blotches, in- closing tubercles which are pink. There is also a black spot on the eyelid, one below the canthus rostralis running longitudinally, and one which extends below and sometimes behind the tympanum. This is one of our best marked species. Its distribution extends fiom western Texas from as far north as Fort Concho, and along both sides of the boundary line between the United States and Mexico, to the Pacitic ocean. It is found as far south as San Antonio, in Texas (Marnock), and in Lower California to the extremity of the peninsula (Xantus), and • in Mexico to Guanajnato (Duges). The i)aired gland-like ridges on the back, represented in the figure of this species in the Eeport of the United States and Mexican Boundary- Survey, are merely the projections caused by the dorsal and sacral dia- pophyses, somewhat exaggerated.
