-JO Frogs of the Okefinokee Swamp 



2. Why do so many breeders choose such temporary pools? 



3. Variations in the coloration are worthy of detailed study. 



4. Does this species occasionally lay a surface film different from its 

 normal singly laid eggs? 



5. Larval period needs more attention. 

 Hyla versicolor 



1. Why is this species not within the swamp? 



2. Are these more marked in color than the northern forms? 



3. Are the breeding periods of the north and south synchronous? 



4. Why did the species average smaller in adults, tadpoles and trans- 

 formation in southeastern United States? 



Rana aesopus 



1. Are R. capito and R. aesopus one? 



2. Mating of the species unobserved. 



3. Transformation notes in general are much to be desired. 



4. Intermediate sizes from 35-48 mm. are very scarce. 



5. What do the younger frogs do? 

 Rana clamitans 



1. Not studied in as great detail because of northern notes on the species. 



2. Why are breeding frogs much smaller than in the north and trans- 

 formation at a smaller size? 



3. Hatching period in field much desired. 



4. Data on larval period needed. 

 Rana grylio 



1. The egg laying has not been observed. 



2. No field mated pairs have been taken. 



3 . Hatching records are not numerous. 



4. The larval period is barely outlined. 



5. What are its relationships in range to that of R. catesbeianal 

 Rana heckscheri 



1. Why has it been overlooked so long? 



2. Intermediate sizes from transformation (31-49 mm.) to 82 mm. are 

 needed. 



3. Mating amplexation and habits not observed. 



4. Method of ovulation and eggs not described. 



5. Is its larval period one or two years? 



6. Are albino tadpoles not infrequent in this form? 

 Rana septentrionalis 



1. The breeding period needs to be outHned in better fashion. 



2. Actual mating and amplexation we have not observed. 



3. What is the normal hatching period? 



4. More details of the variations in tadpoles are needed. 



5. More positive evidence on larval period should be secured. 



6. How long after transformation does or might a frog keep its tail?
