species. In McLennan County I find two types of Engi/stoma, but have 

 always considered them as mere variations of the same thing. A smooth, 

 dull colored form is fully as common as the brown, tubereular skinned 

 variety. The examination of a large series of specimens from the southern 

 part of the State may lead me to adopt Miss Dickerson's views, so in def- 

 erence to the excellent discrimination she has otherwise shown in her 

 Avork, I here include Engystoma tc.rense in my list. 



20. Hypopachus cuneus Cope. 



TAYLOR'S TOAD. 

 This species has heen recorded from two localities in southern Texas, 

 i. e., Ran Diego (Taylor 4 ) and Brownsville (Dickerson 5 ). 



21. Acris gryllus crepitans Baird. 



WESTERN CRICKET FROG. 



I have collected or observed specimens of this species in every county I 

 have visited. Fort Worth is my northernmost record, and I have ob- 

 tained specimens as far south as Refugio and as far west as Boracho, El 



Paso County. 



22. Chorophilus ornatus Holbrook. 



ORNATE CHORUS FROG. 

 Cope 3 has recorded specimens of this species from Dallas (Boll) and 

 Helotes (Marnock) under the name of C. ocularis Daudin. 



23. Chorophilus occidentalis B. & <i. 



WESTERN CHORUS FROG. 

 Reported from two localities in the northern part of the State, i. e., 

 Dallas and the upper Wichita River (Boll s ). 



24. Chorophilus triseriatus Wied. 



STRIPED TREE FROG. 



With the exception of the extreme western part, this species appears to 

 he distributed throughout the State. The spotted variety from Indianola, 

 described by Baird as Holoecetes clarkii, is also abundant in central Texas, 

 occurring in the same localities as the typical form. The following are re- 

 corded localities: 



Indianola (Baird 1 ), Belotes, Fort Concho, Dallas and Galve3ton 

 (Cope 4 ). My localities are Victoria and Falls counties, Waco, Burnet, 



and Refugio. 



25. Hyla squirella Rose. 



SOUTHERN TREE FROG. 

 This interesting tree frog occurs in southern Texas, hut its range is evi- 

 dently not very extensive. I have specimens in my collection from Vic- 

 toria anil San Antonio. 



26. Hyla cinerea Daudin. 

 GREEN TREE FROG. 



This species has a wide range and has heen collected in the following 

 localities: 

 Indianola ( Baird 1 . Types of //. semifasciata) .
