Pseudacris ornata (Holbrook) 



(PI. I Fig. 8) 



ORNATE CHORUS FROG. ORNATE TREE FROG. 



Holbrook in 1842 credits this form to South Carolina and DeKay followed 

 him in giving South Carolina as its range. In 1849 Holbrook gives Georgia 

 as also a part of its range. LeConte 1855 (doubtless on Riceborough evi- 

 dence) says it ''inhabits Georgia, very common in the pine barren ponds." 



Gunther (1858, p. 29) gives Cystignathus ornatus with "Body and head 

 short as in Hyla viridis; skin smooth; tympanum distinct; tongue nearly cir- 

 cular; vomerine teeth in two rounded groups behind the inner nostrils. Dove- 

 colour above with oblong spots of dark brown, margined with yellow. 



a. Adult. Georgia. From Mr. Cuming's Collection. Differs in having the 

 back uniform olive-colour; sides with three black spots, viz., a streak from the 

 eye to the shoulder, an oval spot in the middle of the sides and one or two 

 smaller ones on the loin." 



(See discussion under P. occidenialis). We did not take Pseudacris ornata 

 in the swamp in May-June 1912, nor in April-Aug. 192 1 nor in June-August 

 1922. We have seen it at Helotes and Beeville, Texas in 1925. C. S. Brimley 

 (see P. occidenialis) received it from Green Cove Springs, (1898) and Hastings 

 (1901) Florida. In 1930 and 1931 we have received it in February or early 

 spring from O. C. Van Hyning of Gainesville, Florida. 



Hyla andersonii Baird 



(PI. II, Fig. 3; X Fig. i; XII, Fig. 3; XV Fig. i; XVII; XXV) 



COMMON NAMES 



Anderson Tree Frog. Anderson's Tree Frog. Anderson's Hyla. Ander- 

 son Tree Toad. Green and Yellow Tree-toad. 



(This species and Rana areolata are two species the author has studied the 

 least. Noble and Noble, 1923, have treated most of the essential features of 

 this species. It is included here to make comparisons, and to add our im- 

 pressions of it at Lakehurst and North CaroHna and as a captive in 1906- 1908. 

 It is also a possible Okefinokee anuran.)
