 Comments
       
  Comment: Frost (2000) states "The status of Bufo fowleri as distinct from Bufo woodhousii is controversial. See Green, 1996, Israel J. Zool., 42: 95-109, and Sullivan, Malmos, and Given, 1996, Copeia, 1996: 274-280, for recent discussion of the issue (and Meacham, 1962, Am. Midl. Nat., 67: 282-304, for a presentation of evidence) and delimitation of the species"
