 and Yellow Tree-toad. 



Plate XXXVI. (xil). i- 

 3. Males. 



Hyla andersonii Baird. 



Range: Central New Jer- 

 sey (Middlesex Co.) to South 

 Carolina. 



Habitat: White cedar 

 swamps. We found larvae in 

 several pools, grassy, sedgy, 

 sphagnaceous, along a dense 

 woody border below one of 

 the lakes at Lakehurst, N. J. 



Size: Adults, 1 1/5-1 7/8 

 inches. (Males, 30-41 mm. 

 Females, 38-47 mm.). 



General appearance: This is 

 a small green tree frog. The 

 light bordered plum colored 

 band along the side of the 

 body with its yellow spots 

 below gives this beautiful 

 little frog its distinctive char- 

 acter. This band marks its 

 green dorsal color very 

 sharply from its white ven- 

 tral parts. It has orange in 

 axilla, groin and on the rear 

 of the femur. The throat of 

 the female has a white bor- 

 dered green patch on either 

 side. In its stout body, it 

 differs from the more slender 

 and larger Hyla cinerea. 



Structure: Form stout, head 

 broad and flat; skin smooth; 

 posterior surface of femur 

 spotted; vocal sacs, subgular. 



Voice: This frog calls 

 aquack-aquack-aquacky many
