of the tibia. This coloration suggests the typical Pseudacris coloration, 

 there is a dark spot on the top of the snout. None, however, have a tri- 

 angle between the eyes. 



STRUCTURAL CHARACTERS (WRITTEN IN 191 2) 



Upper parts smooth; the under parts also smooth, except for the ventral 

 parts back of the ventral fold, the upper breast and belly and under side of 

 the thigh granulate; nostril lateral and much nearer the tip than the eye; 

 snout pointed and projecting; lower jaw narrow; cleft of the mouth deep, to 

 the vertical of the tympanum; in most of the specimens a prominent breast 

 fold present ; in all, tongue entire and in most broad ; in the smaller forms where 

 lower jaw is sometimes narrower, tongue is sometimes narrow; tympanum 

 .5-3 of the eye; disks moderate on the feet; disks more prominent on the 

 fingers; first finger shorter than the second; second and fourth fingers about 

 equal; third finger longest; subarticular tubercle small; a metacarpal tubercle 

 present; fingers free; metatarsal tubercles external and internal small; sub- 

 articular plantar tubercles indistinct ; fourth toe much longer than 3rd or 5th 

 which are about equal; 2nd sHghtly larger than the first; toes hardly half 

 webbed; in some of the larger specimens there is present an indistinct fold 

 from eye over tympanum to the arm insertion. 



MEASUREMENTS 



(1912-1914) 

 In 1912 the measurements of the ten individuals were "from 12-15. 5 mm., 

 average 12.5 mm.; the head is 3.5-6 mm., average 4.5 mm., more than the 

 width of the head (like Boulenger's C. copii); head contained in the length 

 2.3-3.4 times, average 2.75, mode 2.9; the width of the head, 3-4.5 mm., av- 

 erage 3.75 mm., 3-4.3 times in the length of the body; about the same or 

 narrower than Cope's 3-3.5 for C. occidentalis; snout 1.5-2.75 mm., average 

 1.36, from 1-2 times the eye rarely i times and usually about 1.5 times the 

 eye; the eye is from 1-2 mm.; interorbital distance which is .5-2.25 mm., 

 average 1.5 mm., equal to or greater than the eyelid which is .75-1.5 mm., 

 average i mm. The femur is 5.25-8 mm., average 6.5 usually less than the 

 tibia, occasionally equals tibia; tibia 5.75-8 mm., average 6.8 mm., usually 

 continued 1.75-2 times in the length of the body; tarsus 3.5-5.25 mm., average 

 4.4 more than the width of the head and usually equal to the length of the 

 head; rest of the leg 4-6.25 mm., average 4.9 mm., equal to or slightly more 

 than the tarsus; anterior limb from axilla 5.25-7.75 mm., average 6.4 mm., 

 about equal to femur; posterior limb 19-23.5 mm., average 20.4 mm., usually 

 1. 5-1. 6 times the length of the body; usually the heel of the hind limb reaches 

 snout, occasionally half way between the eye and the tip of the snout.
