RANAFONTINALIS. 87 



It is probable that this animal may prove to be the Rana viriscens of Kalm, 

 quoted by Gmelin and other Naturalists; although it cannot now be positively 

 affirmed, as I have hitherto been unable to find any animal described by Kalm 

 bearing this name, either in his travels or in those works where many of his 

 observations were published, as the Swedish Transactions, &c.; so the specific 

 name given this animal by Leconte must, for the present, be used.
