HABITAT 



Holbrook (1842, p. 24) writes "The Engystoma carolinense passes most of 

 its days in concealment, near old fences, or under the bark of fallen and 

 decaying trees, emerging only towards evening and after heavy rains. They 

 are frequently seen with myriads of the young of the Bufo lentiginosus, 

 apparently washed from their places of concealment by summer showers, 

 which has led many to suppose that they descended with the rain," 



"It is possible that Bosc referred to this animal when he says he observed 

 in Carolina, a 'crapaud bossu, ou une grenouille' living under the bark of 

 dead trees, though he describes its skin as so excessively delicate as to prevent 

 his preserving it alive even for a short time, in order to make a drawing of it. 

 Now, though the skin of our animal is smooth and delicate, I have kept 

 them alive for several months, and even sent them from Charleston to Phil- 

 adelphia, where they not only arrived in safety, but lived a considerable 

 time after," 



Le Conte (1855, pp, 430, 431) refers to Bosc as well. He writes "Very 

 common in the low country of Georgia under logs." 



"In DeTerville's Natural History, Bosc confounds this animal with 

 Daudin's Bufo gibbosus. He says he found it in South CaroHna, but brought
