 name of the manuscript author, and it is to be hoped that a proper 

 formula for such names will be proposed by the A. O. U. 



32. Rana catesbiana Shaw. Bull Frog. 



Abundant in all lowlands throughout the State. 



A very large Samburg example is remarkably dark beneath, the 

 entire lower parts being coarsely ocellated and vermiculated with 

 black on a white ground ; the head quite black above, the body 

 sooty black. A smaller specimen from the same locality is light 

 olive above, and nearly immaculate below. 



Specimens : Samburg, 2 ad. ; Nolachucky River, Greene County, 

 1 juv. 



Family ENGYSTOMIDJE. 

 Genus ENGYSTOMA Fitzinger. 



33. Engystoma carolinense Holbr. Nebulous Toad. 



The specimens taken were found under logs in woodland, near 

 running water. 



Specimens: Raleigh, 1 ad.; near Chattanooga, 1 ad. 



Family BUFONIDJE. 

 Genus BUFO Laurenti. 



34. Bufo lentiginosus (Shaw). Southern Toad. 



Specimens from southern Tennessee approach nearly to those 

 found in the Gulf States, but the majority are intermediates. 

 Specimens: Bellevue, 1 ad.; Sawyer's Springs, 2 ad. 



35. Bufo lentiginosus americanus (Le C, Mss. Holbr.). Northern Toad. 

 Two typical examples were taken on Roan Mountain. They par-

 humid "Canadian " environment, viz., the large size and saturated 

 coloration. One was found on the summit. 



Specimens: Roan Mountain (6,300 ft.), 1 ad.; (5,000 ft.), 1 ad. 



Family HYLIDJE. 

 Genus ACRIS Dumeril, Bibron. 



36. Acris gryllus (Le C. ). Cricket Frog. 



Examination of nearly forty specimens, from widely separated 

 localities in Tennessee and Kentucky fails to reveal any constant 

 distinctions between gryllus and crepitant, if both forms are found in
