This, the largest of our tree-frogs seemed to be very 

 rare previous to the hurricane of July, 1916, up to which 

 time in all our collecting only two adults and two very 

 young specimens had been taken ; but suddenly during 

 August of that year the species became very common, in 

 fact could be seen by the thousands in the Satsuma or- 

 ange orchards through Mobile County. Since then it 

 has gradually become scarcer and at present is not seen 

 very often.
