General Notes. 199 



On the distribution of Hyla evittata Miller. 



In my recent paper on the Batrachians and Reptiles of the District of 

 Columbia I gave the known range of Hi/la evittata as extending along 

 the Potomac River from Four Mile Run to Little Hunting Creek, a dis 

 tance of about fifteen miles. I have since learned from Mr. A. H. 

 Howell that he has several times heard its unmistakable note in the 

 neighborhood of Analostan Island; and Mr. G. S. Miller, Jr., has taken a 

 specimen (No. 29,021, U. S. National Museum) at Quantico, some fifteen 

 miles below Mount Vernon. 



In early August of the present summer I secured one specimen and saw 

 another in a small fresh water pool along the York River, about half 

 a mile above Yorktown, Va., 



Mr. Howell 's record probably represents the northern limit of the 

 range of this species as I have repeatedly searched in favorable localities 

 in the neighborhood of Plummer's Island and Great Falls without seeing 

 or hearing it. I might also add that a careful search in a Nymphcea 

 swamp in Accomack County, Va., failed to reveal it. W. P. Hay.
