tail as Hyla versicolor. Are they related? The color pattern of the tail in 

 alternate light and dark, longitudinal bands is like that of Hyla andersonii 

 and Pseudacris species. In mouth parts the tadpole falls into the group of 

 Hylas with long hind lower labial with rows like Hyla versicolor, H. squirella 

 and Hyla arenicolor.

RANGE 



Check list. "Type locality: 'Lower plantation of Georgia,' evidently one 

 of the LeConte plantations in Lloyd or Liberty County. "Range: South 

 CaroUna to Florida and Mississippi." — Stejneger and Barbour Check List, 

 1923, p. 31. 



Supplementary records. In L.ousiana Viosca (1923, p. 37) found this 

 species in the "Longleaf Pine Flats. . . . Typically the country is north Flori- 

 dian rather than Louisianian, and several southeastern species, not found else- 

 where in our state, have congenial habits here. Bufo quercicus, Bufo terrastris 

 and Hyla gratiosa are significant examples." Brimley, C. S. (1907, p. 158) is 

 quite justified in including this species in his Key to the Species of Frogs and 

 Toads Liable to Occur in North Carohna." 



The Wilmington type of country very likely will yield it some day. Seven 

 miles north of Millen, Jenkins Co., Ga., Mr. M. D. Pirnie and I started "for 

 an immense chorus of Hyla gratiosa. We travelled about 1/2 mile and the 

 chorus seemed 1/2 mile farther on. It was in a dense tangle of a swampy
