Type locality. — Mexico. 



Range. — From Bexar County, Tex., south through Vera Cruz to 

 Yucatan and Central America; and on the west coast from Sinaloa 

 (Mazatlan) southward through JaUsco, Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas 

 to Guatemala. 



Remarks. — The type of Hyla haudinii (M.H.N. P. No. 401, parch- 

 ment label No. 4798), according to the catalogue, came from Mexico. 

 It exhibits the typical features of this species, as is shown by the 

 following notes: Head-and-body length, 54.8 mm.; transverse diam- 

 eter of tympanum, 3.6 mm.; transverse diameter of eye, 6 mm.; the 

 hind limb being carried forward along the body, the tibio-tarsal joint 

 reaches to anterior margin of eye; a long sharp-edged tarsal fold; a 

 large inner but no outer metatarsal tubercle; toes webbed as usual; 

 large apical disks; fingers webbed at base; tip of first finger reaches 

 to apical disk of second; two external vocal vesicles; vomerine teeth 

 in two transverse rows between and at about level of middle of 

 choanae; throat, abdomen, and under surface of thighs coarsely 

 areola te or granular; black crossbars on hind limbs; an interorbital 

 black band with lateral streaks that connect posteriorly with irregular 

 black markings on upperparts. 



Although the type of Hyla vanvlietii (presumably U.S.N. M. No. 

 3239) is now lost, the description and figures published by Baird 

 indicate that he had in hand a specimen of tliis species. According 

 to the entry in the catalogue, this specimen was collected at the mouth 

 of the Rio Grande, Tex., by J. H. Clark, while he was employed by 

 the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey under the super- 

 vision of Maj. W. H. Emory. The type locahty is given as Browns- 

 ville, Tex., in the original description. 



The type of Hyla muricolor (U.S.N.M. No. 25097) is a large indi- 

 vidual, which can be matched in size, color, and structure with speci- 

 mens of haudinii taken elsewhere in Mexico. It was collected by 

 Dr. Carlos Sartorius in the hills west of Mirador, Vera Cruz. The 

 following notes were made on this type: Head-and-body length, 72.5
