form extending over the Lower Austral, Sabalian and Subtropical 

 zones and in the southern Alleghanies working up into the Transition, 

 where it occurs as high as 5,500 feet on Roan Mountain, North 

 Carolina, and 4,000-4,800 feet on Rabun Bald, Rabun County, 

 Georgia. In detail its known distribution extends from Staten 

 Island, New York, Jamesburg, New Jersey, and Willow Grove and 

 Pink Hill, Pennsylvania, south to southern Florida (Miami and Co- 

 coanut Grove), west to central Iowa (Ames), east-central Oklahoma 

 (South McAlester) and east-central Texas (Columbus). Ames, Iowa, 

 and Bloomington, Indiana, are the most northern known localities in 

 the Mississippi Valley region. 



The species is generally distributed in a variety of environments, 

 these varying from distinctly saturated soil to sandy loams and bare 

 white sand areas, from bare humus and sand to areas of short green 

 grasses, dry wire grass to low bushes and foot-high grasses. It also 

 occurs in open meadowy areas, palmetto flats and again under 

 long-leaf and short-leaf pines and gums.

The remarks made under the generic treatment will explain the 

 above synonymy. We find that none of the specimens of the species 

 taken from northern Florida northward are of the form with the 

 caudate pronotum, but that the series from south and central Florida 

 (Hancock's coarctatus) show about 20 per cent, of the caudate type. 



32 This specimen is labelled "Batrach. cristata Harris" on one of Scudder's 

 labels in his handwriting. Probably all of the material reported by Scudder 

 from that locality under that name {Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., XIX, p. 90, (1877).) 

 should be referred to bolteri.
