Hyla squirella 311 



edge of the swamp in the last of July. In August of the same period it was 

 heard several times along the Suwannee and St. Mary's Rivers. 



In 1922 from June 10 to September this species was recorded. Our opera- 

 tions were mainly outside the swamp. We have not taken it on any of the 

 islands of the swamp except Chesser Island. 



GENERAL APPEARANCE 



Brimley (1907, p. 154) gives this frog with "Size small, feet not edged with 

 yellow. Yellow or white band on sides not sharply defined above and below. 

 Back of thigh not marked with yellow spots or variegations. Dickerson 

 (1906, pp. 149) calls it a delicate, smooth-skinned little frog." Some have 

 alluded to the constancy of the transverse bar between eye or a part of it. 

 This sometimes disappears. Even the white on upper lip may be rarely 

 absent. Then the general appearance of the creature is about all one has in 

 identifying it.
