Abstract

jara-Mexico City Highway during a heavy rain in the summer of 1956. All four specimens were captured within an eleven-mile radius of Santa Cruz, Jalisco, which is approximately 26 miles southwest of Guadalajara at an elevation of 4,900 feet. The major vegetation of the area consists of desert scrub, with dense thorn forest along the temporary streams. The soil is rocky, and there are numerous rock outcroppings along the highway. All of the salamanders were found crossing the highway from rock outcroppings to the downhill side of the road. Anderson's (1961) recent work on the life history and systematics of Ambystoma rosaceum prompted me to review the relationship of the Ambystoma from Jalisco with A. rosaceum and other species.
