Paul DeBenedictis 1960 Nov 25 Tavicha torosa Brazilian Gardens, Chas. I. Tilden Park, Contra Costa Co., Calif. - This evening about 9 Mr. Curren picked up a hexadactyle newt crossing the road at the west side of the Brazilian Gardens during a heavy rain. Only 1 foot, the right hind, was abnormal, it was shaped like this: [illegible] the sixth toe being quite poorly developed. About 10 other animals were seen. Probably all wevermates, but none were in breeding condition. The vent was starting to swell, but all were warty. They have a characteristic manner of walking, which makes them quite distinct, although the may be confused with reddish leaves, etc., on the road. The orange of the belly shows quite distinctly on almost all specimens, unless they were walking in the direction the car was going. The walking position was like this: [illegible] Animals seen were all of breeding size, and many were quite large.
