3IO Frogs of the Okefinokee Swamp 



as the strewing of eggs on vegetation on bottom. This suggests more especially 

 H. andersonii, Hyla squirella, Hyla cinerea. 



On June 26, 1922, when we found numerous mature tadpoles we entered 

 the following note "In relationships, on appearance H. gratiosa, H. cinerea 

 and possibly H. squirella may be closer much as Hyla femoralis seems very 

 close to Hyla versicolor." In a synopsis of tadpoles on mouth part characters 

 we have associated the tadpole of Hyla gratiosa with those of Hyla andersonii 

 and Hyla cinerea. In some ways the adult belongs nearer these two than any 

 others. Yet the size of the tadpole suggests the larger tadpole class size of 

 Hyla versicolor, Hyla arenicolor and Hyla femoralis. A perfect adult tadpole 

 has a flagellum-like tip like some of these forms.

RANGE 



Check list. "Type locahty: Carohna. Range: Virginia to Florida, west 

 to Texas, and northward up the Mississippi basin to Indiana." — Stejneger 

 & Barbour Check List (1923, p. 31). 



Supplementary records. Deckert in May 1922 (1922, p. 88) in Dade Co., 

 Florida, "saw several in Hammock on shell mound about 5 miles northeast 

 of Cape Sable. Heard their calls at Royal Palm Hammock." Myers (1924, 

 p. 60) reports "several" Hyla squirella received from Wilmington, N. C. 

 Schmidt (1924, p. 68) has it from Mt. Pleasant near Charleston, S. C. Holt 

 (1924, p. 9s) writes " Hijla squirella Latreille. Recorded by Loding from 

 Mobile County only. I have taken the species at Barachias, Montgomery 

 County." 



Local Okefinokee records. In 1912, 1913 and 19 14 we did not take this 

 form in the swamp. In 192 1 we did not secure it until we went to the eastern
