398 Frogs of the Okefinokee Swamp 



considering the Lucknow record. The parallel of Lucknow 44° about repre- 

 sents the more common southern limit of its range in Ontario and New York 

 but records are already at hand as low as 43°, 30' in New York State. 



In Ontario, it is knows from Haliburton to Bruce Counties and doubtless 

 it is in the country east of HaHburton Co., Ontario to Madrid, N. Y. 



Two years after the above paragraphs were written, we examined the U. S. 

 National Museum series. We find a Vermont record: Newport, Clyde River, 

 Evermann & Bean, July 23, 1894 (U. S. N, M. 39813-4). A New Hampshire 

 accession of 4 specimens (U. S. N. M. Nos. 36463-6) from First Connecticut 

 Lake, N. H., July 21, 1904, is made by the Bureau of Fisheries. This gives 

 a continuous stretch of states or provinces from Maine to Manitoba. To me 

 the most interesting recent record is the three series of accessions (U. S. N. M. 

 Nos. 28450; 28336-46; 28354-58) of Mrs. E. P. Miller and Mr. Gerrit S. 

 Miller Jr., from Peterboro, Madison County, N. Y. These are the farthest 

 south in New York State unless it be E. A. Mearn's record for the Catskills 

 (Am. Mus. Bull. Vol. 10, 1898, p. 325). These Peterboro records strengthen 

 the probability of Rana septentrionalis being in the Catskills. 



GENERAL APPEARANCE 



This frog is a small representative of the bullfrog-green frog group. The 

 sides are heavily mottled, the rear of the femur heavily reticulated, the back 

 may be almost uniform, may be mottled with large dark areas set off by a 

 tracery of light lines around or amongst them, or the back may be spotted 

 with widely separated spots. Sometimes the forward part of the back is 

 uniform and the rear part spotted. The legs are spotted or with a few bars. 

 The mottling on the femur is suggestive of the R. virgatipes-R. grylio group. 

 In young specimens the sides may be speckled and throats mottled.
