.4cm gryllus 157 



In the western states Ellis (19 13, p. 58) reports it at Wray, Colorado and 

 in 19 1 7 (p. 39) he reports it from Roswell, New Mexico. 



In the extreme northeast Babcock in 192 1 seriously questions the two 

 previous records of its presence in New England. 



In the north we have records from Baltrusol, N. J. and Passaic River 

 Summit (A. C. Chandler 1909) to Hillsdale Michigan (T. L. Hankinson 1900) 

 to Ames, Iowa, (Mr. and Mrs. (K. Van Winkle) E. L. Palmer 1924) to Emporia 

 and Lawrence, Kansas (G. D. Hanna 1909). From Chapel Point, Maryland 

 (Harper 19 16) to Gloucester, North Carohna (Harper 19 13), and Raleigh 

 (Brimley, 1897) to Columbia, South Carolina (Corrington) to Caloosatcha 

 River (J. C. Bradley 191 1); we have it in our collections of the Atlantic Sea- 

 board. From Georgia through Bay St. Louis, Miss., (1897) to Doucette, 

 Texas (O. D. Ingalls (1909), it occurs in the Gulf States. 



In 191 7 we collected it from Petersburg, Va., May 31 and June i to 

 Neuces River, Texas July 2, and the following intermediate localities: Din- 

 widdle, Va., June i; Soudan, Va., June 3; Flatwood, Ala., June 9; LeRoy, 

 Ala., June 12; Theodore, Ala., June 13; Biloxi, Miss., June 14; Dayton, Tex., 

 June 22; New Braunfels, Tex., June 27. In countless places we recorded it 

 between Virginia and Texas. 



In 1925 we went out to New Orleans, La., with P. L. Viosca, Jr., who 

 knows A. gryllus and A. crepitans better than any student of our Anurans. 

 In Texas from Feb. 8, to June 30, 1925, Mrs. Wright and I collected Acris 

 gryllus about San Antonio and at Helotes Creek, Texas. Southward we took 

 it at Beeville, Texas, March 25 to May i, 1925. Westward we found it 23 

 miles east of Del Rio, Texas, June 30, 1925. 



In 1926 (p. 83) we termed "Acris gryllus'N.Y. — Fla. — Tex." as a Lower 

 Austral frog but it extends over into Upper Austral regions. 



In Georgia, the State of which the Swamp is a part, from 1910-1911 Prof. 

 J. C. Bradley secured it as follows: Sept.-Oct., 1910, Spring Creek, Decatur 

 Co.; Mar. 5, 191 1, Marietta; March 8, Wrens; Apr. 2, Gainesville; Apr. 22, 

 Offerman, Satilla River; May 19, St. Simon Id., and June 7-23 Spring Creek, 

 Decatur Co. In Cuthbert, Ga., March 29, 192 1, F. Harper took this species. 



Local Okefi.nokee records. In 19 14 we wrote: "Our material consists of a 

 series of tadpoles to transformation taken from May 28- June 15, 1912, and 

 of 44 specimens of frogs of which 38 were secured between the above dates, 3 

 taken by Mr. Harper from May 2-23, 1912, and 3 on Dec. 22, 1913. This 

 species was easily the commonest member of the Hylidae within the swamp. 

 Most of our specimens came from Billy's Island, but representatives of the 

 species were recorded or taken on Honey Island and its prairies, Floyd's 

 Island and its prairies, Minne Islands, and at Mixon's Ferry and Hammock." 



In 192 1 we took it at Cypress Pond, Long Pond, Bullfrog Pond, Crosby 

 Pond and other points on Billy's Island, Chesser Island, Black Jack Island, 

 Honey Island and on prairies. Honey Island, Chase Prairie, and Black Jack 

 strand ; on Minne Lake River and a detour. We also recorded it in the Pocket , 

 on Jones Island, Gallberry Island, Floyd's Island Prairie, Billy's Lake, and 

 almost all over the swamp.
