Newt. 
Mr. $. H. Hamilton found the red land form very abundant at 
Woodport on Lake Hopatcong. Several were noted at Oxford 
in Warren county. They usually appeared in abundance after 
rains. 
Family BUFONIDZ. 
Bufo americanus Holbrook. 
Toad. 
Many were heard with the chorus of “peepers’” on the tide 
marshes about May’s Landing, Atlantic county, on April 22d, 
1905. Later they were heard up the Great Egg Harbor River 
nearly to Mare Run. Heard calling occasionally about Green 
Creek in Cape May county, May sth, 1907. Abundant, though

were found over most of the woodland, varying in general color 
but little from a dull sandy-gray. A small fresh pond had evi- 
dently been the scene of the recent metamorphosing of the numer- 
ous little ones found jumping near by. In some places they fairly 
swarmed, and hopped about in any direction. I found this species 
on the salt marsh at Barnegat Pier, Ocean county, on July 30th 
1907. A few were seen about Ocean City during August of 1907. 
I have recently compared all the material reported from New 
Jersey with that from Pennsylvania and Delaware, and with the 
exception of a single example, taken in the latter State at Medford 
Mills, find them all to belong to Bufo americanus. 'This species 
upon comparison with examples from the southern United States 
also seems to differ sufficiently from B. lentiginosus, a name 
which I adopted for our form in my last account. Therefore, the 
name 5. americanus may be used in its place. ‘The single example
