A CATALOGUE OF THE SPECIES OF SALIENTIA OF THE 



OKEFINOKEE REGION (1922) 



(Plates I, II, III) 



The Salientia of this region include species, representing seven genera. 

 These are Scaphiopus, Bufo, Acris, Pseudacris, Hyla, Rana, and Gastrophryne. 



. I. Scaphiopus holhrookii (Harlsin) . The spade-foot. 



This subterranean species was found only in the region east of the 

 swamp. We recorded it from Braganza, Georgia to HiUiard, Florida. 

 Usually our records are from tadpoles and not from the adults. 



2 . Bufo quercicus Holbrook. The oak toad. 



This is an abundant breeder in shallow pools during warmer rains. It 

 may hide during the day or travel abroad in the heath or grassy cover 

 of the pinelands, 



3 . Bufo terrestris Bonnaterre. The southern toad. 



This terrestrial species is abundant, being found in almost every land 

 habitat where cover exists, particularly in pine barrens and hammocks. 

 At breeding season it seeks shallow water for breeding. 



4. Acris gryllus (LeConte) . The cricket-frog. 



These little jumpers are in myriads on the prairies and in cypress ponds, 

 and after rains may be common on the moist islands. 



5. Pseudacris nigrita (LeConte). The black chorus frog. 



In early spring this species breeds in shallow water not within the 

 swamp. After breeding it is found on pinelands or high sandy ridges 

 (Trail Ridge, etc.). 



6 . Pseudacris ocularis (Holbrook) . The Httle chorus frog. 



This midget of frogs of the U. S. A. breeds in the cypress ponds and 

 thereafter is usually in the wet pine barrens of the islands' or swamp's 

 edges, or around the edges of ponds.
