324 Frogs of the Okefinokee Swamp 



turned cool after the rain." Our latest record is September 17, 1922, (F. 

 Harper). In the U. S. National Museum are the following captures: J. T. 

 Rogers, Sept. 17, 1924, Charleston, S. C. (U. S. N. M. 67714-67730); same 

 collector, Nov. 16, 1923 (U. S. N. M. 66804-7); J- T. Rogers, Sept. 15, 1924 

 (U. S.N. M. 67731). 



AFFINITIES 



In 1855 (p. 429) LeConte holds "It is wrong in Dumeril and Bibron to 

 say that this species {Hyla femoralis) is a variety of Hyla squirella. In shape 

 and size the difference is most considerable. The latter animal during the 

 warm season is always to be met with about houses, the H. femoralis never. 

 Besides, their notes are entirely different." 



Cope (1889, p. 364) maintains that "This species approaches nearly some 

 forms of H. regilla, of which it may be considered the southeastern representa- 

 tive, though the regions inhabited by both approach in Texas. It may be 

 always distinguished by the more depressed head and weaker canthus ros- 

 tralis; it is rarely so robust and usually of more delicate and less striped colora- 

 tion. H. miotympanum Cope replaces it in Mexico; the resemblance between 

 them is offset by greater palmation and smaller tympanum of the latter." 



Hyla squirella on the basis of eggs, if judged on manner of deposition, 

 would fall in the group of singly deposited eggs: Hyla gratiosa, Hyla andersonii 

 Acris gryllus, Hyla crucifer, but this may mean little. But if we analyse the 

 egg characters it may fall closer to Hyla femoralis, Hyla cinerea, etc. In our 

 synopsis of tadpoles, Hyla squirella apparently falls with Hyla versicolor, Hyla 

 arenicolor, Hyla femoralis, the group with long lower hind labial row. On 

 June 17, 1922, we note that "the tail of the tadpole reminds us of the tail of 

 some Ranids in color."
