4 Frogs of the Okefinokee Swamp 



At an earlier date and slightly farther south from Green Cove Springs and 

 Hastings, Fla., C. S. Brimley lists- 



Plethodon glutinosus *Chorophilus ornatus 



*Desmognathiis fusca auriculata Hyla cinerea 



Diemyctylus viridescens *Hyla squirella 



Amphiuma means Hyla gratiosa 



Siren lacertina Hyla femorahs 



Bufo quercicus *Rana aesopus 



Acris gryllus *Rana eatesbiana 



At Nashville and Allapaha, Ga. to the northwest of the Okefinokee 

 Swamp, Mr. W, J. Taylor secured the following forms:' 



Bufo lentiginosus lentiginosus Rana virescens sphenocephela 



Acris gryllus gryllus *Rana virescens virescens 



Chorophilus Occident alis *Rana areolata areolata 



Hyla squirella Rana clamata 



Hyla femoralis *Desmognathus fusca 



Hyla carolinensis *Amphiuma means 



Thus, from these three lists we could compile a hypothetical (*) list of 

 forms to be sought in Okefinokee Swamp or its environs in the year 1913. 

 The following 1 1 forms might be thought the nucleus of it. They are 



Rana pipiens Chorophilus nigritus 



Rana areolata areolata Chorophilus occidentalis 



Rana aesopus Chorophilus ornatus 



Rana catesbeiana Desmognathus fusca 



Hyla squirella Desmognathus fusca auriculata 



Hyla pickeringii 



In the earlj-- part of the last century no state of the United States fur- 

 nished more amphibian material than Georgia and its earUer herpetological 

 writers and coUecters included such worthies as Major J. LeConte, Dr. J. L. 

 LeConte, Dr. Holbrook and his east Georgian correspondents and collectors 

 like Dr. Couper of St. Simon's Island and Dr. Harden of Riceboro, Ga. This 

 latter place, the type locality of five or six mammals is equally interesting 

 in batrachology. Here the LeConte plantation is situated and no doubt it is 

 the type locality for some of the Georgian species Maj. J. LeConte described. 



In 1825 (May 16) he distinctly records three forms from Georgia^: 



Hyla lateraHs Hyla femorahs 



Hyla delitescens
