HABITAT 



(See Voice discussion for habitat notes) 



In 1908 Mr. Davis (pp. 49, 50) presents some good habitat notes which we 

 quote in toto. "On the evening of July 19, 1907, I went hunting Hyla ander- 

 sonii at Lakehurst. The first one that I heard was in a small red maple and 

 about eight feet from the ground. This was quite high up, for they usually 

 climb only five or six feet from the ground. I could not reach the little frog, 

 nor could I bend the sapling that hung over a marshy place. I therefore shook 

 it suddenly, which caused the frog to jump into a still smaller maple. This I 

 could bend over, and it sat looking at me until I captured it with my hand. 



''Of quite a different disposition was the next one I found. It also was in a 

 small maple, but when it saw me and I tried to capture it with my two insect 

 nets, it immediately jumped and as it was getting quite dark by that time, I 

 was unable to locate it on the ground among the undergrowth. A little later 

 I heard it singing again, and so went back to find that it had climbed up a 

 huckleberry bush that was covered with a considerable growth of Smilax 

 glauca. The leaves of the vine made it quite difficult to locate the frog, which 

 must have been near, for when I drew close it hopped on to a lower part of the 

 bush, and though I tried to capture it with my two nets, I was unsuccessful. 

 This frog was a most persistent singer, and so in a short time I went back to 

 the same bush up which it had climbed after being so rudely dislodged. After 

 much looking and with the aid of the moon, I located the frog on the flat side 

 of a Smilax leaf and brought the two nets together with the result that I 

 found the frog in one of them. 



"The next evening I found one in a cedar tree in a swamp. When I got 

 around the tree through the bushes to where the frog had been, I found that 

 it had gone to the side of the tree that I had just left. As I approached 

 slowly it would jump from tree to tree, and from limb to limb, every now and 

 then stopping to sing when it heard the calls of its rivals, two of which were 

 in the same small swamp. In this way I slowly pursued the frog, being much 

 interested in its well-founded fear and its inability to keep quiet. It never 

 cHmbed over sixfeet from the ground so that I easily captured it when I desired." 



In 1928 Dr. & Mrs. A. B. Klots located ten individuals and their notes 

 on position are apropos. 



"The exact positions of ten individuals were located, of which seven were 

 captured. High-bush Blueberry tangles festooned with Green Briars made 

 further investigations in this line impossible. The individuals are here re- 

 ferred to by number.
