1. Although the highest percentage of individuals having the
supraorbital and postorbital crests forming a sharp angle is
from localities in the Balsas-Tepalcatepec Basin, numerous
individuals from throughout the range of _marmoreus_ have the
crests forming an angle (Table 1).
2. In all samples of ten or more specimens, some toads have
the supraorbital and postorbital crests forming a sharp
angle, some have the crests forming a curve, and some have
an intermediate condition.
3. The relative size of the supratympanic crest is highly
variable in all samples examined.
