18. Rana virescens virescens, Kalm. — Leopard Frog. 



The most common of onr larger frogs, especially about the 

 river bottom ponds. It, also, is gregarious, a dozen or more 

 being often found beneath a small log in late Autumn or early 

 Spring. 



19. Rana palustris, LeConte. -Pickerel Frog.-Swamp P'rog. 



A rare species in this locality, but two having been seen. 

 They were taken in May from the grassy margin of an upland 

 pond. Previously recorded from Monroe and Franklin 

 Counties. 



20. Rana clamata, Daudin. — Green Frog. — Spring Frog. 



. A common frog about all upland streams and springs, but 

 seldom .seen in the low lands. Never more than one or two 

 are found in a place. During the open Winters of 1.S8.S-89 

 and 1889-90 several specimens of this, as well as of virescens, 

 were seen on different occasions in December and January. 

 On February 16, 1888, they, together with the "peepers," 

 were in full chorus. 



21. R.\na catesbiana, Shaw. — Bull Frog. 



F'requent ; found from April to October in the larger low- 

 land ponds and the deep still waters of streams, but is more 

 often heard than .seen. Its numbers are becoming le.ss year 

 by year, a fact, no doubt, due to the taste which man has de- 

 veloped for its tender thighs.

A fre{|uent sj^ecies in dense, dam]) woods. Difficult to cap- 

 ture on account of its (juickness and enormous leaps. 



Of the twenty-seven batrachians mentioned by Prof. O. P. 

 Ha}-, in his " Catalogue of the Amphibia and Rei)tilia of 

 Indiana," pnblished in 1887, the above twenty-two have been 

 taken within a radins of five miles of the citv of Terre Haute.
